Answered by Dr. Chobufo Ditah (2 hours later)

Brief Answer: Most likely an allergic rash/funga infection Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you so much for trusting us with your health query. I am so sorry to hear about this rash. The description of symptoms is suggestive of an allergy or a fungal infection. If these bumps are localized to the periphery of the discoloration, then it is more likely to be a fungal infection. It would be of paramount importance to get this rash examined. I will like to take a look if you can upload a picture. If the presentation is not typical and requires further information, I will let you know. For now, you can take Zyrtec to relief the itch. I hope you find this helpful. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for more information if need. Thanks. Dr. Ditah, MD.
