Brief Answer:
Eczematous rash, topical steroid & white soft paraffin lotion

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph.
It seems to be an eczematous rash.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like hydrocortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and regular application of a moisturizing lotion containing white soft paraffin on the entire birthday 2-3 times a day.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
