Hi..

It looks like allergy or eczematous reaction..

The ointments advised to you are appropriate and will help in improvement but if the underlying cause is not removed then the symptoms will recur.

So can continue these creams and along with it do cool compresses over the irritated area.
Along with it you can also apply aloevera gel over the area..

Avoid using any chemical cosmetics over the area.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
