Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it is looking like a patch of eczema.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply steroid cream like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily for 2-3 weeks and take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine 4 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Dr Asmeet
