Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent itchy red rashes which seems to be due to contact dermatitis, skin infection, and could be fungal infection. Need not to worry. You should apply only petroleum jelly and take antihistamine like Benadryl twice a day. Avoid touching or pricking rashes. I would suggest you to keep your skin clean and dry, protect it from sun. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order certain test like skin patch test, blood test, allergy test and take history to rule out the side effects of certain drug. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
