Hi..

Well, first of all the cause of rash has to be ruled out whether it is allergic reaction, bug bites, poison ivy exposure or anything else causing the same..

So first of all you should consult an Allergist and get a thorough examination done along with investigations like Allergy test..

In case if it is due to allergy and causative factor is ruled out avoiding exposure to the same can help..

For allergy Immunotherapy can also help in reducing the severity of symptoms..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
