Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
Probably you have developed allergic reaction, the photograph is suggestive of that.
I treat such cases with a mild topical steroid cream like cortisone twice daily for a week.
It is safe and effective.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
