Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Seems to have developed Irritant/Allergic dermatitis.
If i was the treating doctor i would have adviced an oral antihistamine like cetrizine once daily for itching
A topical combination cream of steroid (e.g mometasone) and antibiotic (e.g fusidic acid) twice daily for a week would help resolve the dermatitis.
take care
