Hello,
It may be due to allergic reaction. For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally. For itching you can take tablet loratidine. Still for further assessment you may consult with dermatologist for detailed evaluation to rule out any other symptoms for fungal infection or herpes. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition. Keep your self hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
