I really appreciate your concern, it may be allergic condition due to local application in my opinion better to apply Diphenhydramine lotion, but most important is clinical examination because such case needs this for right diagnosis and treatment it may be kind of viral manifestation in all these cases clinical examination is must hope this information helps.
