Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it is looking like an allergic reaction.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take tablet cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for 7-8 days.
This should resolve the rash.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
