Brief Answer:
Viral rash, topical steroid, mousturising lotion, antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
According to your complaints it could be a viral rash.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream diluted in a moisturizing lotion in the ratio of 1:3 on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet fexofenadine 180 mg twice daily for 1 week.
This will resolve the rash.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
