Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion, the new rashes could be papular urticaria and the old flat rashes are post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
For the new rash/bumps, do apply an antibiotic cream (Fusidic acid cream) for a week. If you do not get improvement after a week, you must consult your Dermatologist.
For the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, you need to undergo treatment for a longer period of time. You can apply Azelaic acid cream on the lesion.

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

Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian.
