Hi,
It seem that your has developed allergic dermatitis to some contact allergen. Do not apply any home remedies which can aggravate the situation. You can apply cortisone cream and calamine lotion over affected area.
Use a good quality medicated moisturizer for 3 times a day. Protection from direct sunlight is must . For itching you can take benadryl or loratadine by mouth.
