Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

This could be allergic response may be due to insect bite or dust. I would suggest you following things:
> Don't touch that area with dirty hands.
> Apply polyfax plus ointment over it twice a day
> Wash hands before and after applying ointment
> take cetirizine one at night for 4 days. It will reduce itch

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
