Brief Answer:
allergic rash.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

This rash seems to be an allegric rash. These kind of rashes usually appear when there is a bug bite which causes allergy at the bite area.

These are itchy ..warm and red and they don't usually spread untill you scratch them.

I would suggest you not to scratch them.
use tablet citrizine 10mg daily at night and apply hydrocortisone cream over it.

This will take a week to get better but there should be nothing to worry about in this case it is simple allergic rash not a big deal unless there is puss in the scratch wounds due to scratching. If pus appears so visit your doctor.

Icing them will help too..protect the area from staying moist for long time you can cover it with a band aid while you have to dress up for work and at home wear soft shirts which are absorbant and don't irritate the area. In a week things will be back to normal.

I hope this answered your question, a
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regrads.

Hi Dr,

Thanks flr your reply. I noticed later today that the bigger spots are starting to form small blisters near the center. Is that common? Thanks :)

Brief Answer:
Clear blisters are fine not the ones having pus.

Detailed Answer:
Dear me ,

Thanks for writing back,

Blisters having clear fluid are part of allergy process but if they have pus then do see your doctor immediately as that would be super added infection on the allergy.

Regards

Dr.Ahmad
