Hello,
You can have contact dermatitis according to mentioned history.
The anti septic cream will not be beneficial in such case.
You can apply topical mild steroid cream like betamethasone over that.
Oral levocetirizine also can be taken.
If your rash is circular with intense itching than fungal infection also can be possible for which topical clotrimazole is to be used.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
