Hello,

It can be an allergic skin rash. You can post a photo of the lesion to comment further.

Topical calamine lotion can be applied over rash.

The antihistaminic drug like levocetirizine can be prescribed for the rash.

If no improvement in five days than Consult dermatologist for detailed evaluation.

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

Regards,
