As such this is due to cosmetic products, so avoid soap, lotion, cream or powder.
In doing so, it will go away on its own.
If still there, then can apply coconut oil or simple aloe vera gel too. Best would be coconut oil.
If not improving after, that then consider Calosoft AF lotion (calamine lotion).
Ghee or mustard oil can improve or worsen so a double edge sword.

Child has developed allergic reaction. Please stop oil application for massage for a week and see. Apply calamine lotion on the rash area.
