Detailed Answer:
Hello Mamta.

Thanks for the query.

Please stop using N-95 masks and use cloth mask instead.

It is not possible to identify what is going on without examining you, I request you to upload clear pictures of the lesions so that I can understand what it is and guide you further.

For the time being, I would suggest you to take an antihistamine like cetrizine twice daily and if possible please visit your local skin specialist for further treatment.

Hope it helps.

Best regards
