Brief Answer:
Could be due to fungal cause

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. However, I would need to ask you
* whether there are rashes present. If so, please upload an image.
* whether you have history of allergic ailments or asthma.
* whether you had any deviation from regular diet.

It could be due to a fungal cause and if that is the case, application of clotrimazole powder should provide relief. You may apply some emollient like calamine lotion or some moisturizer like aloe vera lotion. Continue taking Allegra.

I would await your response.
