Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You must immediately dip the affected part in warm water.
Apply a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone.
This will help in reducing inflammation.
Also take an anti inflammatory tablet.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
