Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed an allergic reaction to XXXXXXX
I treat such cases with a combination of oral and topical steroid.
Oral tablet prednisolone 30 mg per day for 5 days and ointment mometasone to be applied twice daily for the same duration should help you.
Try this and let me know.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
