Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction from the cream that you have applied. I suggest to stop using the cream. I recommend using anti histamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. If the symptoms continue, I suggest using a steroid injection to lower the inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
