Hello,
Symmetrical rash is most probably allergic rash and uncommonly tinea or scabies. But it is very important to rule out scabies and tinea. Because the drugs given for allergic rash can worsen the skin if the diagnosis is wrong. So, I recommend you to consult your Dermatologist as soon as possible.
