Hello,
I have gone through your query and it could be an eczematous rash. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine once daily at bed time for a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
