[|Human|] My grandson has what appear to be hives (vs a rash) on his legs and arms (mostly) I see one on his abdomin. Any idea what this may be, or how to treat? He does have exzema, and today, we put chortisone cream all over his body (which we do as part of his regmine. Ususally just where he is dry, but my daughter did put it all over him today).Thank you!
