Detailed Answer:
Hi!
I have gone carefully through your query. I have checked the attached image and it seems that the rashes are due to allergic cause.
You need to give:
1. Some antiallergic like Cetirizine drops once daily for the next few days.
2. Atarax Drops (Hydroxizine) is a prescription medicine that can be given instead.
3. You may also apply some emollient like Calamine lotion or moisturizer like Aloe vera lotion.
Hope I have answered your query.
