Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
You seem to have developed Savlon burn, which is a sort of irritant dermatitis.
I would suggest that you apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate cream twice daily over the whole affected area, twice daily for a week. That should make it fine.
