Hi,
Most probably you may be having contact allergic dermatitis. Consult the Dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. As there is itching, allergy is more likely possibility then pityriasis rosea. Apply steroid cream and take oral steroid in tapering dose and antihistaminic under observation of doctor.
Hope this helps.
