Lightbulb sometimes skin rashes...

are self limiting. That is, they may go away, and not
generalize to other areas of the body.

If you put Hydrocortisone on it for a while ( a few days) and let it rest, you could retest the area with a small strip of Lidoderm in about 2 months and see if the rash comes back.
Sometimes the rashes don't come back.

Also you want to make sure your skin is healthy to begin with.
Adequate amounts of zinc daily, and EFAs, etc.
There is a good skin vitamin by Carlson called
ACEs. Skin that does not have enough fatty acids, is broken and easily irritated.

I have an EFA thread on the vitamin forum:
