Let me explain you that a given medical symptom can be due to various causes and this applies to your problem too.
I understand that you have a history of travel and you have a rash. The causes of rash with itching could be infective or related to allergy due to some insect bites or other substances. I don’t know if you have a past history of any allergy.
The best way to resolve this issue is to be examined by a local physician whose clinical interview and examination, particularly that of distribution of the rash and the appearance will give the diagnosis.
You may also benefit with anti- allergic medicines like anti-histamines.
Hope this clarifies. Let me know if you have more queries.
