Hello,
Thanks for posting on HCM,
It will be difficult to tell exactly what type of rash you might be having without seeing it. A little more information regarding the characteristics of the rash such as type of primary lesion, distribution, color, base, contours etc. If the cause can be determined then treatment could be effective. You might be suffering from contact dermatitis which is a type of skin diseases when the body comes into contact with specific allergens.
From the look of things you will need to consult a dermatologist who can confirm or rule out my suspicion.
Treatment is multidisciplinary and will involve you you using appropriate soaps/cleansing agents and you may also need to take antihistamines such as chlopheniramine to get rid of the itching.
Hope this helps
