Looks like an eczematous reaction, topical steroid & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it is looking like an eczematous reaction.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with a moisturising cream on the entire face twice daily for 7-10 days.
Besides this take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching for 5-7 days.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
