As per your case history, you are suffering from injection site Dermatitis.
My treatment advice is: 1. Do not scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like Fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medicine like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
