Could be viral? Could be an allergic reaction? Does antihistamine help?

It could be post partum hives. I had it 2 weeks after giving birth. Doctors prescribed me Cetrizine antihistamine and Betnovate cream which cleared it within a few days.

Do you just mean the part under your boobs? Get athletes foot cream and try that for a few days. Since pregnancy and wearing seam free comfy bras I’ve had this type of rash and docs told me it’s a fungal rash so they did prescribe the cream but when I googled it it’s the same as athletes foot cream so that’s cheaper x
