Hi,

It may be contact allergic dermatitis. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

I would suggest...

- apply mild steroid cream like mometasone
- take antihistaminics like levocetirizine 5 mg daily till the itching is relieved
- if needed, steroid tablets may be taken in tapering dose

I hope this might help...

Thanks.
