Red itchy rash appeared on my body

I am a male and 26 years old. I notice that i have red itchy rashes on my body and I am not sure whether I am allergic to any kind of food or not ( no history of allergy). I suspect that i was infected by bacterial infection during my shower. Through my reading on google its called pseudomonas folliculitis. May i know if antibiotic can be use to treat such thing? thanks
