Brief Answer:
Clotrimazole powder should help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply. I have checked the attached image. I would insist you to apply candid (clotrimazole) powder over the face a few times a day for the next few days. You may apply calamine lotion for a soothing effect. You may give some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily. I think that should help.
