Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I have gone through your complaints and you seem to have developed a maculopapular viral rash. I would recommend you to apply calamine lotion on the affected areas twice daily and take anti-histaminic like tablet Cetrizine once daily for 5 days. This should resolve in few days.

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