What Causes Rashes On The Hips?
Hi! I was dancing last night when my Fiancé noticed me scratching. I thought my skin was just irritated from bouncing around. Turns out I have a reash of what looks like petechiae on my upper hip/butt. I m worried about the cause. - we are getting married in 2 weeks! Should I be worried? Or just wait it out and see what happens?

Hi,
It is just an allergic eruption. As a first line management you can take antihistamines like Pheneramine for symptomatic relief. You can also apply low potency steroid creams like Betamethasone also, if rashes persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
