This could be an allergic reaction. One of the most common symptoms of an allergic reaction is an itchy rash. Contact dermatitis is a rash that appears after the skin is exposed to an allergen, such as metal, rubber, some cosmetics or lotions, or some types of plants (e.g. poison ivy).
Drug reactions are another common allergic cause of rash; in this case the rash usually appears soon after the first dose of the course of medicine is taken.
The rash triggered by allergies should disappear as soon as the allergen is removed; drug rashes will fade when the patient stops taking the drug causing the allergy.
Soothing lotions like Calamine and oral antihistamines can provide some relief from the itch.
