Hi,
I can understand your concern for the extremely itchy rashes after traveling. I can make a possibility of Allergic dermatitis. In Allergic dermatitis there are eruptions along with moderate itching and in more aggravated cases there is appearance of more redness which persist for more than multiple of days.
The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications.
You are correctly prescribed with medium potency steroid cream application of fluticasone cream. You can additionaly take antihistamine benadryl or loratadine by mouth.
It may take around 5 days to get better so have patience.
Take care.
