Hello,

I can understand your concern for treatment for redness, change in firmness in combination to dry skin.

In your kind of cases I prefer to give antihistamines. You have not mentioned your exact age and weight so that accordingly I could have guided best for the dose of antihistamine -cetrizine.

In your kind of cases if your weight is above 60 kilograms then you can take two tablets of cetrizine in 24 hours. In case if you are less than this weight then can take 5 mg tablets for two times. Do not try to scratch any of the area and stay in stable temperature. You can take further guidance from a dermatologist in case if the condition is not resolved.
Take care.
