The most probable cause of the rash is urticaria which is a hypersensitivity reaction.It is prudent to avoid sour food and fermented food as these foods aggrevate urticaria. Continue application of calamine lotion. Oral antihistamines like fexofenadine may also be started after consulting your dermatologist. Regards
