Brief Answer:
Eczematous rash possibly, topical steroid & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service,
I have gone through your query and you seem to be having an eczematous rash.

I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like Cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg twice daily for 8-10 days.

This will help in resolving your problem.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
Dr. Asmeet
