Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

This type of rashes over body skin could be due to eczema,allergic hives,atopic dermatitis or could be due to drug induced but it needs to get inspected at least once by the doctor for clear diagnosis.

So,The important thing is to diagnose first rather than treatment.

You can go to skin specialist for detailed history and inspection of rashes to have a clear diagnosis.

You might require topical corticosteroid like beclomethasone, clobetasol or mometasome with antihistamines orally to reduce redness.

The lesion might starts reducing within 3 to 4 topical and oral medications.

Some time oral antifungal once dosage are also effective.

So,immediatly consult your doctor if this rashes persists.
