Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
It is looking like an allergic reaction.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid cream like Mometasone daily in night for a week.
This gives a good result.
You can try it in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
