Brief Answer:
Antihistamine and steroid needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.

The rash you described is a typical of an allergy to some medicine.

Apply the cortisone cream to the whole affected area.
I understand it is 5 am-
Do you have any antihistamine and / or steroid tablets in the house? Even a cough syrup like benadryl?

You need to take an antihistamine and steroid asap.

Regards
