Hallo,
Itchy rashes can be due to conditions including eczema, viral infection, allergic conditions. fungal infection, parasitic and bacterial infection etc.
The treatment for such conditions varies very much. Hence without a proper examination, it is difficult to come to a proper diagnosis and give specific advice.
For the timebeing anti- histamine medications like benadryl syrup, calamine lotion can be used to reduce the symptoms.
But it is very important to consult with a Dermatologist, for further treatment and advice.
