Hello and welcome to HCM.
It seems you have got local irritation to the creams or lotions you have used. It called Contact irritant dermatitis.
Nothing to worry as your skin will be fine soon.
After good quality moisturiser like cetaphil DAM twice a day over full face.
Use gentle facewash like Cetaphil cleansing lotion twice a day.
Avoid use of any oi-based cosmetics.
Avoid direct sun exposure and use water-based sunscreen before stepping out in sun.
Hope this was useful.
Take care
