Allergic Rash Because Of Shampoo

[lolroflxd123]

My little brother and I are alone at home for a few days. And my little brothers has a rash from a shampoo he obviously is alleric to. In the country we live in it's late evening and he can't sleep because of his rash. He is crying and says it's itchy and painful. How can I help him? It's half past eleven at night, I can't go buy something anymore.

(I hope I chose the category right, I don't really know this site yet)

Try rinsing his hair in some luke warm water, and see if there is any antihistamine in your medicine cupboard, be mindful to read the instructions to see if it's age appropriate though.

Cool damp cloths to soothe overnight, but keep a check on his general health, breathing etc.


Has he any other illnesses?

[Maydup]

Start by giving him a warm water shower using no soap or gel. This might rinse it away and start to relieve the rash.

What part of the body is the rash?

[lolroflxd123]

I have no ideo how to anwer you so I just write it here. The rash is on the head, neck and shoulders and he has no other ilnesses.

He's also probably missing his parent/parents and feels a little vulnerable. As well as all the excellent advice, a cuddle might not go amiss. Hope he feels better soon x

You have answered just fine, do as advised, make sure all shampoo is gone and keep skin cooled and yes a hug would be good - soon be morning then get him looked at.

lol rofl xd123 That is a strange username.
Like advised, rinse with luke warm water.

You are replying correctly.

Do you have any cream that you could try - such as germolene, savlon. Don't use any make-up type cream.

How old is your brother lolrofl and which country are you in?

[Maydup]

You answered correctly well done.

Warm shower, warm towel, warm drink and snuggle up with him he'll settle I'm sure. Let us know later how you get on won't you?

[mazie]

If you have and Bicarbonate of soda in the kitchen cupboard mix it to a thick paste and put it on the rash, that should help calm it down

[lolroflxd123]

I always hug him when he feels bad and our parents are not there and I will try those things out. Thank you all. I know my name is wierd but I had no better idea in this short time.

[lolroflxd123]

My brother is almost nine and we live in germany

[askyourgran]

Do as the others have suggested and rinse his head in cool water, try to keep him cool. Has he suffered from an allergy before and had medication for it? I hope he calms down soon.

[Tuvok]

Do you have any neighbours that may have something to help?

[shoota]

Has he any other symptoms such as stiffness or a headache?

[mazie]

I'm off to bed. I hope your Brother feels better soon.

[shoota]

Are you on a forces base?

[royfromaus]

Do you play the piano?

[lolroflxd123]

He has no other symptomes only the rash and he doesn't have any medication for allergeys. He has a mild allergy against one flower, but I don't know which one, maybe something like that was in there. And if your advice doesn't help I am going to tell my neighbour.
