I wanna know how to resolve this please.thank u
You seem to have developed superficial skin allergy due to the usage of the oil. I would advise you to keep the area clean and dry. Apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone cream twice a day. Take oral antihistamines like levocetrizine once a day to reduce the redness and irritation You can additionally take oral vitamin C supplementation in order to speed up the healing process. The allergy will heal in a span of 5-7 days if proper care is taken, after that, if any pigmentation persists, then you can apply a mild lightening agent containing kojic acid over the lesion till the skin color returns back to normal .
