Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Yes the way you describe it surely it is an allergic reaction due to the cream.Please consult a doctor and get prescribed an anti allergic and proper treatment for the problem and it will settle in few days.Presently other than treatment you cannot do anything which will help it settle.
Thanks
