Hello,
It sounds like an allergic reaction and an infection. Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Wash the area with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Then apply a topical antimicrobial like Neosporin and take some oral antibiotics after consulting your doctor. Also take an antihistaminic for the allergic reaction.
If the symptoms persist then please get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

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.
