Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply steroid cream like mometasone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take tablet betamethasone 2 mg once daily in the morning after breakfast and tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once daily at bedtime.
This needs to be continued for 2-3 days till the time the reaction settles.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Wish you good luck.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
