Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

The rash could be Miliaria (Prickly heat) or a drug hypersensitivity rash. But there are other possible diagnosis. You could apply a calamine lotion and take an antihistamine tablet. But, the ideal management could be provided by a Dermatologist after proper examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
