Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is probably allergic dermatitis. Apply mild steroid cream twice a day and take antihistaminics like Levocetirizine and if needed,oral steroid in tapering dose. Any suspected allergens should be avoided orally and in the form of contact.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
