Hi,

If there is no rash means it is healed but at the same time get checked for other possibilities like scabies or systemic eosinophilia or allergy to drugs etc.

Apply aloe vera cream locally. Use tablet Atarax.

Check for bilirubin level in obstructive jaundice. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
