Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a contact dermatitis.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Betametasone cream.
I recommend to avoid the skin cream that causes you this allergic reaction.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
