Hello,
It seems to be infected eczema. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily, take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine once or twice daily depending on the intensity of the itching and take antibiotic like tablet Cephalexin twice daily for 5 days. This should improve your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
