Brief Answer:
It could be allergic contact dermatitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
If this rash is located exactly at the site of contact with medic alert the rash could definitely be a manifestation of Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to some or other of the allergens coming in direct contact with skin.
Latex and natural rubber are well known allergens.
Topically you need to apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g mometasone furoate 0.1% cream Or triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream, twice daily.
You can take a tablet of cetrizine 10 mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.
