Depends: It is difficult to guess what it may be given so little information. If the rash is confined to a small area, topical hydrocortisone may help. The most important step is finding the cause for the rash and thus you may consider consulting an allergist or dermatologist.

Depends on the cause: There are many types and causes of skin rashes that could cause itching. Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
