Hi,

It seems to be sweat dermatitis.

I would recommend you to apply a topical steroid, like Cortisone cream on the affected area and take antihistaminics, like tablet Cetrizine

This will resolve it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Have a thorough wash with plain lukewarm water or you can add a few drops of savlon/dettol in it. Apply hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion locally twice or thrice daily. Take non-sedating antihistamines (Levocetrizine) once daily for 5 days for relieve.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Nupur K
