Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern regarding the ash on all over body including lower back, collar bones, light on stomach but the rash on leg.

As I can get from your query the rash is parading one and required immediate attention.

There is possibility of the rash to be from any infective case such as viral infection or can be related to simple contact dermatitis.

To rule out the exact cause I suggest you to meet a dermatologist or a family physician immediately to rule out the exact cause of the rash.

If I were your treating doctor then would have given you calamine lotion to apply on the rash and an antihistamine like cetrizine for two times.

All the best.
