Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it sounds like irritant contact dermatitis. Irritant
dermatitis, the most common type of
contact dermatitis, involves inflammation resulting from contact with acids, alkaline materials such as soaps and detergents, cosmetics, or other chemicals.
Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Wash the skin with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat it dry.
