Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed an allergic reaction.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid cream like fluticasone to be applied twice daily for a week.
Take an antihistamine tablet like cetrizine if there is itch.
Next time you should be careful and don't use besan or any other thing to which you are allergic.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
I find this answer helpful
