Hi,
Your skin condition might be a fungal infection. Other possibilities are fixed drug eruption or eczema.
In any of above cases Mixed preparation Like steroid + antifungal combination ointment can hide the exact diagnosis but relieved you symptomatically.
For diagnose your condition properly you need to stop applying topical cream/ ointment for at least 14 days.
Take tablet-Atarax 25 mg twice daily for 14 days.
After end of 14 days you should consult a dermatologist for your disease pattern and management of it.
With regards.
