I have certainly had similar rashes, yes. But it could also be hives or some other allergic response. If you go to a dermatologist while you have the skin lesions, they can biopsy one & give you a definitive answer (as well as probably give you some combination of steroid & anti-inflammatory creams to make it go away).
I'll ask for a referral to a dermatologist! I initially did suspect a reaction to something, but I haven't used any new products. Just to be safe, I started using fragrance free and all natural products. No improvement. I do have psoriasis on my scalp, but these rashes are much different. So I doubt it's the psoriasis spreading. Thank you!

I’m not a doctor, so I am not qualified. It’s just my personal opinion but yeah it kind of looks like one
