Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis is related to the contact with an antigen the causes the skin allergy. I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest using a steroid lotion for local application such as Betametasone cream.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
