Brief Answer:
Allergic reactions
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic
The lesions you described are common due to allergic reactions, possibly due to clothing, medications or creams applied to the area. There could be other allergens causing this as well.
The allergen source is difficult to find out. The itching has lead to the lesions you have described.
As of now wash the area with soap and water and should come down. If not we need to explore the use of other anti-allergic creams and medications.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
