Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photograph.
I can see there is lot of redness which suggests allergic reaction may be due to contact with something.
I treat such cases with topical steroid cream like fluticasone and anti histamine tablet.
This gives excellent response.
You too can try this for a week.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
