Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Its very hard to comment on the exact diagnosis without having a look at the rash but I would keep a possibility of either Urticaria OR Pityriasis rosea.
I would advice that you see a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis.
An oral antihistamine like cetrizine or loratadine once or twice daily can be taken symptomatically for itching.
take care
