Hello,
It can be due to dermatitis, sweat dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis. Apply calamine lotion and some mild steroid cream after consulting a dermatologist. However if there is any flaky skin then the possibility of seborrheic dermatitis needs to be ruled out.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky, dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp. under the nose or anywhere on face. People with seborrheic dermatitis produce too much sebum (the natural skin oil).

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
