Brief Answer:
Contact dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It seems to irritant contact dermatitis.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily and antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 twice daily for 2 weeks.
This will help in resolving your complaints.

Dr Asmeet
