Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an eczema.
I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine in case of itching.
I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Betametasone cream.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
