Hello!
Thank you for your query.

Based on your description above, the characteristic of the rash do correlates with symptoms of urticaria. However, there are still a lot of other diseases that may have similar symptoms. These include:

  • Atopic dermatitis
  • Eczema
  • Fungal infection
  • Insect bites
  • Allergic reaction

The listed conditions are just generalised assumptions. We are unable to give accurate treatment advice or diagnosis because there were no specifics of the symptoms, visualisation of the rash, complete physical examination or relevant clinical testing done.

You should also avoid further scratching to the area as this might worsens your condition or even lead to secondary infection. If you have known allergies, avoid those allergens and keep the area clean.
