Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
I have seen the attached pictures .
You seem to have developed a patch of neurodermatitis.
This is basically a very itchy skin eczema which tends to increase on rubbing or scratching the affected area .
So most importantly,you should avoid touching or rubbing the area as much as possible.
Apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone or clobetasol cream over the affected areas twice daily .
Apply plenty of moisturisers over the area whenever there is itching .Keep the area well hydrated and moisturised to prevent recurrence.
Take some oral antihistamines like Benadryl or levocetrizine along to relieve the associated itching and allergy .
Hope it helps
