Please upload an image

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Rashes can be due to a number of cause and it is important to have a look. I would request you to upload an image of the affected areas. Also mention if the area is itchy and whether there are other associated symptoms like fever.

You need to take some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily for the next few days. You may also apply some emollient like calamine lotion or moisturizer like aloe vera lotion.

I will await your response. Based on your inputs I would guide you further.

Regards
