Thanks for the query.
Probably you developed drug reaction.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid cream like cortisone to be applied in night and an antibacterial cream like mupirocine to be applied in morning.
This combination works well and is safe and effective.
You can try this.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis.
