Hello,
A photo would be very helpful in diagnosis. The symptoms can be related to a contact dermatitis. I suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application. I also suggest using antihistamines to relieve the itching such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
