Hi,

It may be prurigo simplex.

Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

After thorough examination and investigations,he might give proper treatment.

There may be some cause..irritant,allergen,psychological element or systematic cause.

Antihistaminics like levocetirizine and steroid in tapering dose might clear the rash. Apply mild steroid cream. Avoid anxiety and keep away from suspected triggers. Any systemic disease is found ,take treatment.

I hope this would help.

Thanks.
