Rash on legs?

Hi My 16 month old got a rash on her legs and butt after visiting a friend who had a new house and Alaskan Husky. I gave her 0.2ml of Benadryl but the rash is still there. Is this an allergic reaction to the dog? Of course she had on summer clothes and was all over the floor. Dog hair was all over the floor too. I don't think a doc visit is neccessary. I am just going to keep an eye on her today.

Rash on legs?

it very well could be, or it could be an allergy to anything else new at their house. my son has food allergies (gluten %26amp; dairy) and we know when he has come into contact with those particular substances, because he gets a rash on the back of his legs and butt. they almost look like dry zits (or old zits) almost pimply.

If the rash is localised you are probably right. However if the rash covers the body AND is accompanied by a fever %26gt;38.0 degrees it's probably worth a trip to the GP. If the benadryl didn't work, give it a miss. The other person who maky be of help is your pharmacist. Goto your local chemist (or drug store if you're in the U.S.) and ask.

i wouldn't be too worried. but if the rash persists, i would definitely make an appointment. i would also monitor if a fever doesn't come along with the rash. the rash can be caused from anything. it could be the new house, the paint, or the dog. its hard to say. good luck.
