Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As I understand it could be because of some allergy. Antihistaminics like cetrizine and loratidine can be taken to relieve it. Avoid use of steroid as far as possible or take only under guidence of clinician. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for correct diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
