No it wasn't present earlier. First noticed pain and burning on wednesday but there wasn't any thing visible .Then it increased.
I have applied Soframycin Skin Cream and Candiderma Cream.

No there are no similar lesions.I do not apply hair oil as I have sebarhoeic dermatitis and doctor have advised against using oil.

Thanks,

Brief Answer:
Infectious eczema , take proper treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

You seem to have developed an infectious eczema.
Soframycin and candiderma would not help you. You need to apply an antibiotic steroid combination cream like flutibact cream or fucibet cream over the affected areas twice a day .
In addition, take some oral antihistamine like levocetrizine once a day .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over it . Do not use things like dettol or savlon . You can wash it with a plain soap water and then apply the medicine.
It should get better in five to seven days of regular treatment .
