Need not to worry. You should apply only petroleum jelly and take an antihistamine like Benadryl. Avoid touching or pricking rashes. I would suggest you keep your skin clean and dry, protect it from the sun. If the condition doesn't get well then consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may order certain test like skin patch test, blood test, allergy test and take history to rule out the side effects of a certain drug. The 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.
