Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and need to ask you few questions:
Are the rashes temporary or they are permanent?
Do you have any ailments or taking any medicines?
Is anyone in the family having itching or rashes?
Is itching more during the day time or night?
If possible upload the pictures of the affected areas under the report section of the site so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Kindly revert with the answers and pictures.

They are temporary. My family has a history of skin disease. It's itching more on night time.

Brief Answer:
Eczematous rash, topical steroid & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
I have gone through your query and it seems to be an an eczematous rash.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily along with antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching for 2 weeks.
These are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
