Hi ,
Thanks for writing in HCM.
The condition can be allergic contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis,atopic eczema etc.Diagnosis can be made after exmaination only.
Treatment depends on diagnosis.A visit to dermatologist will confirm the diagnosis.
Till the time you can take tab.Cetirizine 10 mg twice daily .Oral antibiotics and steroid may be required for short time.
Hope this helps.
