It will always be good to see a doctor.
A rash and an allergy may be just a starting symptom.
Sometimes the allergy increases so much so that the person can have trouble breathing- condition called angioedema.
That can become an emergency and urgent admission and medical attention may be needed thereafter.
So definitely meet a doctor.
A prescription of antihistamines like cetrizine should help
best of luck
