Brief Answer:
Contact dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have seen the images.

Yes, it appears to be contact dermatitis.

My advice is to change the bed linen or the sheet you are using now. Change of material quality is must.

Continue applying steroid ointment in the night. Apply Calamine lotion in the morning times.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
