Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to have viral exanthem which is a non specific viral rash. It may or may not be itchy and settles after 7-10 days. Apply calamine lotion thrice a day and use a mild hypoallergic soap for body wash.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
