Ok the rash is on my arms n a small area on chest been about a couple days i feel nothing at all just an itch an burning on the area ive tried nothingbon the area not on any medication
Brief Answer:
Seems to be allergic reaction
Detailed Answer:
According to your history it seems to be an allergic reaction to something which has gone unnoticed.
In such cases I recommend my patients to apply Cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine 4 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching and burnnig for 7-10 days.

I have seen the photographs.
The rash on the arm, neck and face can be either patches of eczema or due to sun sensitivity.
Though few red and skin coloured bumps on the face seem to be acne.
