Hi,
The rash could most probably due to an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. But other possible diagnosis is scabies. You could take an antihistamine tablet and apply an antibiotic ointment for a week.
If you do not get any improvement in a week or your rash worsens during the course of treatment, I request you to consult your dermatologist for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian,
