Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Allergic reaction/contact dermatitis is more likely than an infection after use of expired products. You can apply vagisil anti-itch cream and take cetirizine 10 mg once daily to help relieve the irritation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
