Brief Answer:
Regarding skin rash and itching

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

You seem to have either an exanthem due to viral infrction or flu or it could be just a manifestation of dry skin. I would suggest you to use a moisturizer regularly. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
