Brief Answer:
Cortisone cream, antihistaminic and oral steroids if required

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,

I have gone through your complaints and you seem to have developed an irritant reaction to the product you have used.

I would recommend you to apply a topical steroid like Cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once daily.

If the reaction is severe you might require a short course of oral steroids.
Oral Steroids are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
