General & Family Physician 's  Response
I warmly Welcome you!

Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

It seems due to some allergic reaction but without seeing its always difficult to traeat skin lesions.
I suggest you to apply corticosteroid ( Over the counter) ointment to apply 3times a day. Take Claritin per oral once at night for 3days.

After 3days if you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures with direct question.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback and five star rating, to help me assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful too'. Please, write a review about your experience with me.
