Hi,
It may be contact allergic dermatitis most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Avoid the contact with suspected allergens. Oral steroid in tapering dose would control the condition. Take antihistaminics like cetirizine 10 mg daily.
Apply mild steroid cream.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
