HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You can try the steroid cream, clobetasol is strong so you would have to be careful to use the smallest amount necessary.
You can also try oral benadryl along with this for systemic effect. Oral benadryl is an over the counter medication.
If there is no improvement after 2 to 3 days or worsening then you can see your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
