CONTACT dermatitis : It can be severe due to exposure to plant allergens. Steroid cream and oral steroids sometimes are necessary. Consult dermatologist if needed.

ALLERGY: Could be an allergic reaction to the product, could be reaction to other extrinsic factors like light, cold temperature my advise stop the product and watch no improvement use hydro cortisone cream. If keep recurring see your pcp.
