Hello,
Firstly, if you develop red rashes accompanied by itching, it is essential to identify the underlying cause so that appropriate, targeted treatment can be administered. Self-medicating without a clear diagnosis is not recommended. If the rash results from a skin allergy, antihistamines or other anti-allergic medications may be appropriate; if it stems from skin inflammation, anti-inflammatory medications would be required instead. Ultimately, the specific treatment plan must be tailored to your individual condition.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
