What Causes Recurring Itchy Rash Behind The Ears And Scalp?

Hi. My 18 month old daughter has a reoccuring itchy rash that appears behind her ears, on her scalp, neck and sometimes the side of her face. It will disappear and reappear in different areas of her head. It seems worse in the evenings, however is there throughout the day. The rash is dark red and appears dry. There are a few raised bumps. About 2 week ago she had a cold/virus with a mild ear infection. She ran a fever of about 101. They treated her with antibiotics for the ear. The rash appeared about 3 days into taking the antibiotics. The doctor recommended we discontinue the antibiotics in case of allergic reaction. She has been off them since. Any ideas?
