Hi,
It may be viral rash, most probably erythema infectiosum. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. If it is viral rash, it may vanish in few weeks. Symptomatic treatment may be considered like antihistaminics for itching,paracetamol for fever and antibiotic to prevent secondary bacterial infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
