Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You are taking treatment for allergic causes only.
Rashes may be due to other reasons also. It may be due to bacterial ,fungal ,viral,arthropodal origin .
It is difficult to comment without clinical examination and history.
so, better you consult your dermatologist.
Take Care
