Hello
Welcome!
I would be pleased to answer your question .

From the description of the lesions they seem to be either a acute contact eczema
Avoid scratching as much as possible. It can occur localised as in your case.

Here is what will help:

1. Fluocinolone cream : apply over the affected twice a day for 7 days. The specialist to see will be a dermatologist and he or she can prescribe these for you. Nothing over the counter will help much, the only product with some benefit is 1% Cortizone cream.

2. Tab Claritin 10 mg twice a day for 5 days

Lastly keep the affected areas as well moisturized as possible with a moisturizer of your choice.
Please feel free to ask if you have any queries.
