Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph.
It seems be an eczematous rash.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid and antibiotic like cortisone cream and neosporin ointment on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching for 10 days.
This will help in resolving your problem.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
