You could but..: a better choice might be diphenhydramine (Benadryl) but the cetirizine is less likely to make you drowsy so you can start with that and if it doesn't work try the diphenhydramine. You can also try 1% hydrocortisone cream that you can get at the store on the rash to see if that alleviates the itching and the spread of the rash.

Contact/irritant: This appears to be a contact or irritant dermatitis. Hydrocortisone cream may help but you need to pinpoint the source. Avoid irritating substances, scented/antibacterial soaps, or excessive hand-washing. If problem persists, see a dermatologist.
