Hi.
As per your case history you are having either allergic rash or contact dermatitis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are topical steroid cream, oral hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
