Hello
Thanks for the query
It looks like you are having a viral exanthema. Here are my suggestions

2. Calamine lotion should be applied over the area. It reduces the itch and the inflammation
3. Tab Hydroxyzine taken twice daily will reduce the rash
4. If the rash does not reduce then please take an appointment with your dermatologist for clinical evaluation and steroid based treatment
