Hi. Thanks for posting your concern.
Judging from the description it seems to be an Urticarial drug rash.
If i was your treating doctor i would have put you on oral antihistamines like cetrizine or loratadine once or twice daily for a week.
Depending on the severity of rash you might require a shot of hydrocortisone OR Pheniramine which can be repeated every 6 hours.
Topical soothing lotion e.g calamine will help sooth the itching and discomfort associated with it.
regards
