Rashes appear when you scratch your itchy dry skin, quite common during the winter after taking a warm shower. The itching due to allergic rashes may improve with moisturizer but rashes do not resolve right away after using moisturizer.

If it goes away after applying moisturizer only, it's probably not allergic in origin -- probably simple dry skin, which is common this time of year, when humidity is low. If you can solve the problem with moisturizer, I would just stick with that.
