Brief Answer:
Seems to be eczematous rash, topical steroid, moisturising lotion

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
According to your complaints it could be an eczematous rash.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream diluted in a moisturising lotion in the ratio of 1:3 on the affected areas twice daily for 2 weeks,
Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
For itching take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg twice daily.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
