Brief Answer:
Contact dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like contact dermatitis, a mild allergic condition.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid cream like cortisone.
It is safe and effective and is usually available over the counter.
Try this cream for 3 days and let me know the response.
Thank you
