Is there a more effective treatment to relieve his itch? What else can we do to help him? We put aloe and pants

Question

My 15 month old baby has a skin condition called prurigo diagnosed by the doctor. She has 2.5ml of anti histamine per night and a cream for local application on the pimples. But the itching is very strong especially at night. She wakes up screaming to scratch. No, except for her prescription for an antibiotic cream on the wounds and 2.5ml of anti-histamine in the evening in a drinkable solution

Hello ma'am, do you apply anything other than aloe vera? Thanks for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my reply, I hadn't seen the notification! The basis of treatment is moisturizing the skin and other non-pharmacological measures: A fragrance-free moisturizer such as Aveeno, Cutibase, Base Glaxal, Cerave and others should be applied as often as needed. The cream should be applied often and whenever your baby seems to want to scratch. Avoid scented soaps, and after the bath, avoid rubbing the skin vigorously: instead, lightly pat the skin to leave a thin layer of moisture, then apply the moisturizer within 5 minutes of getting out of the bath. In cold weather, make sure your child wears gloves and that his or her neck and face are well protected (scarf, neck warmer) If the air is too dry indoors, we can also suggest a humidifier for the room. If non-pharmacological measures are insufficient, a doctor should be consulted for a thorough evaluation of his needs. I hope this has been helpful and remain available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
