Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to dermatitis.
For that you can take apply hydrocortisone ointment locally. Take tablet loratidine for itching.
Alternatively you can apply aloe Vera gel locally.
Watch for symptoms like breathing difficulty, severe rashes, in that case you may require urgent medical care.
Avoid harsh cosmetic products. Maintain proper hygiene
