Hi.
As per your case history you are having viral exanthem.
My treatment advice is -
1. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
2. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 15 days.
3. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, topical steroid cream given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
