Brief Answer:
Eczematous rash, topical steroid, moisturising cream

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems to be an eczematous rash.
I would recommend you to apply a mild topical steroid like eumosone M cream on the affected area twice daily along with application of a moisturizing cream like elovera cream on the entire face twice daily for 2 weeks.
This will help in resolving the rash.
