Hi,

It may be contact allergic dermatitis most probably.Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply mild steroid cream. Take oral steroid i tapering dose along with antihistaminic under observation of doctor.Avoid contact with suspected allergens.

Hope this helps.
