Brief Answer:
Contact dermatitis, topical steroid & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your complaints and you seem to be developing contact dermatitis to the patch.
You should avoid using this patch. Otherwise the reaction will continue occurring.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas and take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg.
This will resolve the reaction.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further queries.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
