Hello,
Both lemon and besan can irritate your skin. DO NOT TRY HOME-REMEDIES WITHOUT MEDICAL ADVICE.
Itching and rashes can be soothed by medication but proper details, photographs and other history of treatment is necessary.
Next Steps
Consult me via practo pro for treatment of rashes as well as for medical skin care routine

Home remedies are not always a solution. Certain ingredients like besan can cause much irritation.
Kindly take an online consultation for the same.
