Hello

My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. There could be a number of causes for the rash. I would be in a better position to guide you if you answer following questions please:
1. Share a clear picture of the rash by uploading it here.
2. When did the rash appear for the first time?
3. Any previous history of rash?
4. Any history of itching earlier? I mean that rash is not itching at the moment but was there itching before?
5. Any other symptom that you want to share?

I will be looking forward for the answers to conclude the discussion in the best interest of yours.

Thank You
