Hello and welcome to HCM.
It seems you have got dermatitis due to contact with the blanket. It called Contact irritant dermatitis.
Nothing to worry as your skin will be fine soon.
I would advise you a week course of oral prednisolone in low dose (5-10mg). Continue tablet Avil once at night for 5-7 days.
Apply a mild corticosteroid lotion like betamethasone lotion twice a day.
Apply soothing calamine lotion twice a day.
Wear loose cotton clothes as far as possible
Hope this was useful.
Take care
