Hi,
I have gone through your complaints and it could be an eczematous rash. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas and take antihistaminic like tablet cetirizine depending on the intensity of itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
