Brief Answer:
It is a transient allergic rash: nothing serious

Detailed Answer:
Hi Ma'am, ,

Good Day to you.

I fully appreciate your concerns.

* The rash was either due to exposure to sun or insect bites, but more likely due to exposure to some allergens/irritants in the yard. Such allergic rashes are transient and may be itchy.

* No specific treatment is indicated since the rash is fading. however, if there is itching, you may take anti-allergic drug such as Levoceterizine 5mg twice daily till the rash disappears completely.

* You may also sprinkle talcum powder over the body after every bath.
