Have you all problems with reading the question? This "asker"has taken the child to the doctor and then to the ER.
My apologies, I haven't a clue what this could be. I get reoccurring bouts of Cellulitus(don't confuse this with cellulite) and I use various creams for the different stages of this. I know that this is not in any way related to your child's problem.
Sodocrem nappy cream helps if there is an infection, its soothing however it also dries the skin. I also use Emollient Cream to help with itching, Then when it gets to the very dry stage I use Emulsifying Ointment. All of these treatments are very cheap and effective. Skin problems are hellish to diagnose.
Try researching gluten or dairy allergies.
You could also try a homeopathic remedy called Sulphur, or visit a homepath. Little boys are lovely, I am so sorry that he is having this problem.
GET HIM TO THE DOCTOR BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY !
It sounds more like an allergic reaction. I have sensitive skin and break out with little red bumps and itch everywhere when I use things with perfumes.
My son has what the doctor refers to as the "Classic Triangle" - eczema, asthma, and allergies....to me, what you described in the car sounds like hives, which can occur with an allergic reaction. Maybe ask for a referral to an allergist to check out the possibility.
You can Google "images" of hives to see if it looked like it. My sons eyes used to swell from them too. Benadryl helped.
He has outgrown that phase, luckily, except for if he were to eat any dairy at all.
Get him to the doctor again and say all the things you figured out and maybe they'll figure it out. Better Safe than sorry
