Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction over skin ,stop the cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi
You seem to be developing an allergic reaction to the cream that you applied .
You should immediately stop it's further application.
Apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone cream over the affected area twice daily. Take some oral antihistamines like levocetrizine once daily at night to relieve the itching.
Do not apply any other cream or oil over the affected area.
Use a medicated sunscreen with spf more than 26 over the face before going out in the sun. This will prevent any further darkening of the area .
Once the allergic reaction subsides and the redness disappears,then you might start the treatment for the residual pigmentation over the skin .
Hope it helps
