Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.If you got a itchy rash from your boyfriend then it is most likely a fungal infection like tenia corporis.The shot he got could be antihistamine which even can give to allergic rash.For itch with fungal infection i treat with ointments of clotrimazole or powder or soap of ketoconazole for local application.I also advise fluconazole tab for oral intake weekly once for 1 month to stop recurrence.Anyhow it is better to confirm it with a dermatologist.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
I find this answer helpful
