Hi

Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX

I need a description of the rash to narrow down to a diagnosis. You may describe it in context of its appearance, whether it contains fluid or pus in it. how does it feel -like on touch? Also let me know how it started. Does something make it better?

Since it is itchy you can try tablet cetrizine to get relief from it.

If you can upload a photo of the rash, it will be very helpful

Waiting for your reply.
