Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor Forum Looks like you have developed a lesion of Vector dermatitis, also known as Panders dermatitis. Panders dermatitis is a peculiar, irritant contact dermatitis characterized by a sudden onset of red lesions on exposed areas of the body. The disease is provoked by an insect belonging to the genus Panders. You need to apply an antibiotic/steroid combination cream over the lesion twice a day. Take oral antihistamine like levocetrizine once a day to decrease the swelling. Do not use any moisturizer or oils till the time the lesion heals. Hope it helps To wish you speedy recovery Chat Doctor.
