Hello dear, itchy rashes on skin can be due to many reasons. Some of the common ones are..

pityriasis roseae
milliria (prickly heat)
Drug allergy
Fungal infections.

Just for instant relief you can use calamine lotion, and antihistamine like tab cetrizine. Nevertheless, you must XXXXXXX a dermatologist as knowing the exact cause is very important.

Let me know if you have more queries.
Thank you
