Brief Answer:
Use a mild topical steroid and take oral cetrizine
Detailed Answer:
hello. thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern.
Seems like a mild irritant or allergic contact dermatitis.
I suggest you to take a tablet of cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching. Topically you may use an otc steroid cream e.g cortisone cream (contains 1% hydrocortisone acetate), twice daily for a few days.
Regards
