Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You seem to have developed contact dermatitis to the massage liquid. You could use a cream containing hydrocortisone or fluticosone twice a day for 10 days. You could also take an antihistamine like benadryl at bedtime. Keep in mind not to use the same massage cream/ liquid again as the reaction could recur once your skin is sensitized and could be more severe next time.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
