Hi,
It may be contact dermatitis with secondary bacterial infection.
Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would recommend you to apply antibiotic cream initially and after the reduction of swelling...apply mild steroid cream. Take a course of antibiotic for a week along with antihistaminics and oral steroid in tapering dose. Avoid the contact with suspected allergens.
Hope this helps.
