Hi,
I can understand your concern for skin irritation caused due to cosmetic oil. There can be multiple possibilities of the red rashes and it requires a close physical examination to diagnose the exact entity of the problem.
In my view correlating with the facts you have provided it appears to be allergic dermatitis of the area.
I suggest you to meet a dermatologist to for proper therapy. In between you should avoid sun exposure and friction to the area properly. If I were your dermatologist then presumptively would have preferred to apply fluticasone with mupirocin cream. You can take an antihistamine such as loratadine for twice a day if itching is present.
Do not try to pinch, pop or squeeze the area as it may cause secondary infection of the area.
All the best
