I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern

I suggest you to mix and use a moisturizung cream and a moderately potent steroid cream in a ratio if 1:1 and use it twice daily for a few days. E.g Amylac cream and Betnovate cream in an equal proportion of 1:1 twice daily over the affected area.
In addition you may also take a tablet of loratadine 5mg (Dazit 5mg) once daily in evening.
Follow these measures for a few days and you would notice improvement.
