Brief Answer:
Consider taking antihistaminics and corticosteroid creams
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
You have most probably developed an allergic reaction to the nuts you have consumed.
In such cases I recommend my patients to apply corticosteroid creams like clobetasol propionate cream or betamethasone cream on the affected area twice daily along with antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg twice daily or hydroxyzine 25 mg twice daily.
These are usually continued for 7-10 days and the condition resolves.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Wish you good luck.
