Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like an allergic reaction.
There is nothing to worry it's not dangerous.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid cream like fluticasone.
It gives good response within a week.
You can try this in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
