Hi. As per your case history we need to know few details - What type of rash it is? Is the pain only localized to the side of rashes? My treatment advice is - 1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it. 3. Consult a dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and treatment.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
