Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rash on arms, face and chest which can occur due to allergic reaction or side effects of certain medicine. It could be due to fact as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Apply ice pack on rashes 2-3 times a day.

- Keep this area clean and dry and apply warm compresses with soaked towel.

- Avoid touching or pricking rashes.

- Take Benadryl twice daily.

If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test, and prescribe medications accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
