Hi,
The rash could be an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. It could also be a herpes viral infection. Herpes infection is usually treated with antiviral drugs whereas insect bite hypersensitivity reaction is usually treated with mild steroid and antibiotic ointment. So, Please do consult your Dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and to initiate the apt treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
