Brief Answer:
phototoxic dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and I have viewed the Image

It seems like Berloque dermatitis, which is a type of phototoxic dermatitis most commonly to cosmetics like perfumes and fragrances. I suggest you to use a topical steroid cream e.g either Triamcinolone acetonide cream or mometasone furoate cream for a few days. These are prescription topical steroids

Hope i have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
