Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You have developed an allergic contact dermatitis.

Steroid lotion will be beneficial, but dont use it too long.

It should not be used more than 15 days.

Along with that taking an antihistamine tablet will be benifitial.

Let me know you have any other doubts.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
