Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and reviewed attached images. Here is my advice.
As per your history, it may be due to allergic reactions.
Please let me know :
Do you have fever, sore throat, cough?
Still for further assessment, I would suggest you to consult with dermatologist for detailed clinical examination.
He may procure complete hemogram, skin patch test as per evaluation to rule out allergic reaction/eczema
Till then you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.
Take tablet loratidine 10 mg once a day for itching. You can apply nasal saline drops locally.
Avoid sweating and maintain proper hygiene. Avoid harsh cosmetic products.
Hope I have answered your query.
