Hi.
As per your case history you are having viral exanthem.
My treatment advice is –

1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid and hydroxyzine given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
