Could be allergy or localized irritation from external source such as
soap. Could also be an infection just being felt externally. Over the
counter cortisone 1% is usually safe when used externally 2-4 times a
day until you see your doctor. The only condition where cortisone is
contraindicated is herpes and you don't seem to be describing that.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
