Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This rash could either be an exanthem - one of the manifestation of the viral upper respiratory infection Or it could be a drug eruption. I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg tablet for symptomatic relief from itching, In addition I suggest you to apply a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion, 2-3 times in a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
