Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.
It seems to be an eczematous rash.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and regular application of a moisturizing lotion containing white soft paraffin on the entire body 2-3 times in a day.
Also take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
This should resolve your problem.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
