Brief Answer:
Probably and allergy. Upload an image for review and guidance!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this rash. It certainly sounds like an allergy; probably contact allergy. Often occurs when the body comes in contact with an unfriendly product. This could be a new lotion, or just something new your accidentally touched.

Was this rash itchy? I will appreciate an image for review and guidance. Because it is fading away already, I will not dive into recommending any drug options at this time. If after reviewing the images i think that is necessary, I will then do so.

To upload an image, you may do so directly or email to YYYY@YYYY and it would be forwarded to me. Until then, I wish you well.

NB: If there is any new products you have started using, kindly stop it at this time while we figure out what's going wrong.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
