Hello,
It appears you may have a chemical hypersensitivity to one of the excipients of the cream and it is important that you see a dermatologist with interest in chemical sensitivity to get a patch test done to exclude this.
You can apply a local antihistamine cream or take an antihistamine tablet for a few days to treat the present reaction.
It normally takes a few days (less than a week typically) to overcome this reaction.
