Depending on the age of the child, the most common rash found in the ante-cubital fossa (elbow area) is eczema - a form of dry skin, secondary to irritation, low humidity, or rarely a milk allergy. The application of a steroid cream (ie, hytone 2.5%) and lotion (aquacare), short baths with no bubbles, and an oral anti-itching medication (ie, benadryl, atarax) will usually suffice. RBB, MD

Blockages to the heart, lungs, or brain can be life threatening.
