Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to contact dermatitis.
I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
I also suggest to apply cooling agents, such as menthol or calamine.
If the symptoms continue, you should see a dermatologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
