Hi,
Due to inadvertent use of skin creams, you have done more harm to your skin. It seems due to improper application of the above mentioned skin creams, you developed an irritant reaction. Right now you need to apply a steroid cream like mometasone cream where your skin has peeled off. It will not only reduce burning but also alleviate the redness. Stop using all the other creams for a while. The area of redness might heal with slight pigmentation which can surely be treated later on. Please consult a dermatologist only for any skin condition and do not practise self medication. Take care.
