Brief Answer:
Blister beetle dermatitis, topical steroid, and antibiotic, antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems to be blister beetle dermatitis.

I would recommend you to apply topical steroid and antibiotics like Neosporin ointment and cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine 10mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching for 7-8 days.

This should resolve it.
