Either will do: Dermatologists specialize in skin disorders, while podiatrists are specialists in foot disorders, including skin conditions.

Podiatrist: Most common itchy rash is tinea pedis or ( athletes foot). Should be evaluated by a podiatrist to determine and exclude atopic or contact dermatitis.

Both can do the job.: There are many types and causes of skin rashes. 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.
