Hi,

From what you are describing, the rash is due to fungal infection as long as nothing unusual has changed in your lifestyle (no garden work).

Take anti-itch cream locally and orally for the next following days.

If still no improvement, should consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation as might need prescription medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
