Hello
Have you had this type of rash before? Have you been in contact with any new detergents, soaps, or even foods? Here is an article on our site of how to tell if this rash is caused by an allergy or something else.
I am not a doctor but it sounds like one possibility could be eczema. Cortisone cream will help with the itch factor and should cause no harm if it is not eczema but something else.
I strongly recommend that you go see your doctor or a dermatologist to determine the cause of this...you need not suffer with this.
Thank you for your question!

I know this time of year, I need to use moisturizer in certain areas that dry out. I have to use Gold Bond, or something like that every other day. It's worth a try.
I have to use it above my ankles and sometime shoulder blades too in winter.
