Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are having severe allergic reaction to the whitening cream called “ contact dermatitis”. Stop using the particular cream and never use it in future. As of now you can apply low potent steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. Nothing much to worry and you will be all right in couple of days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
