Hi,

It may be secondary bacterial infection in allergy lesions. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply antibiotic cream. Take a course of antibiotics till the secondary bacterial infection is cleared. After that apply mild steroid cream. Take antihistaminic like Cetirizine to improve the allergy. Avoid contact with suspected allergens.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
