Hello,
This could be either an allergic reaction or a viral infection dear . I need to see the rash to be sure dear . I would advise you a course of Antihistaminics but if it's rapidly progressing we need to get you a shot of corticosteroid at the ER .
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
