Hi
You seem to have developed vector dermatitis.
This is basically an insect bite reaction which is allergic in nature .
Application of topical steroids usually helps ,so you can continue application of the medicine you are applying .
You might need oral antihistamines along .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over the affected area.
