Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching and apply topical steroid like Clobetasol Propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily from 10-12 days. This should resolve yes rash and itching.

Hope I have answered your query.
