Brief Answer:
Kindly avoid rubbing

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

I have viewed your photograph. In photograph this seems like eczema though a dermatological consultation is needed to confirm diagnosis. I suggest the following: Kindly avoid rubbing, apply a mild steroidal preparation like hydrocortisone 1% to keep the itching in control.
Try the above for 3 days.

If this does not help, please visit dermatologist for further management.

Hope it helps.
Dr Vaishalee
