Hi.

You could be suffering from Allergic contact dermatitis or Drug induced hypersensitivity reaction. Make sure that the rash is not due any chemicals such as dyes, detergents etc.

Also, you should make sure that the rash is not due to any drug that you have taken recently. But there are other possible diagnoses such as Tinea infection etc. So I request you to consult your Dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and for initiating the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian,
