Hi,

You are having itchy rash in spring season.

It seems that you may be having atopic dermatitis.

It may be due to pollens.

Protection from pollens may be required for prevention of dermatitis.

Antihistaminics,steroids in tappering dose and application pf steroid cream will improve the disease.

There may be other allergens also.

Those should be recognised and they should be kept away.

You consult dermatologist for perfect treatment.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
