Hi
See you seem to be developing an allergic reaction because of the various home remedies that you are using.
You should surely avoid using all of these since they are further increasing the irritation even further.
You should just clean the affected area with plain water twice a day.
You may need to use a topical steroid cream over the affected area twice a day.
Some oral antihistamines along will help in decreasing the allergy.
Do not apply any oil over it now.
