Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Is the rash in the form of blisters?
Are you sexually active?

Brief Answer:
It is not herpes infection

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed all the photographs you have attached.

It is not herpes infection.

It seems to be allergic reaction to something you have used or applied on your body or it can be a reaction to some medicine you have used.

In such cases I recommend my patients to apply steroid like Clobetasol propionate cream diluted in moisturiser in ratio of 1:4 on the affected areas of the body along with antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.

These are prescription medicines and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
