Maybe: If it is a viral exanthem it will continue coming out until it fades. It represents a combination of dead virus and antibodies that leak out of capillaries under the skin.Sometimes a hot shower or bath will speed the process. It is usually faded within 2 wks. The atarax is for any itching an the steroid cream is ????. I suppose they give you something to do.
