Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Seems to have developed irritation over that area.
As a treating doctor I would have suggested you to use a mild to moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g hydrocortisone OR fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily for a week to help the skin get back to normal
