Brief Answer:
it could be an allergic or irritant reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
From the description it seems, you are having some sort of allergic or irritant reaction. The same can be confirmed if you could upload an image of your face showing the described lesions clearly.
In the meanwhile, use a mild moisturiser along with a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone twice in a day. Any irritant or allergic reaction should respond to this treatment

Hope this helped.
Take care
