Hi,
It seems to be an eczematous rash. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take anti-histaminic like tablet cetirizine 10 mg once daily for 2 weeks. This should help in resolving your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
