Brief Answer:
Seems to be eczematous rash, topical steroid & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph though it is not very clear.
It seems to be an eczematous rash.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like mometasone cream on the affected areas twice daily for 7-10 days followed by application of physiogel cream on the entire areas twice daily.
Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Meanwhile you can continue with allegra and montair FX for another 7-10 days.
This should resolve the rash.
