Hi Jayne. Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Your symptoms are suggestive of Dermatitis. There are many causes of the same.
Fungal Infection., Allergy, Contact Dermatitis.
You should consult a dermatologist and take an opinion for the same.
Since its for 6 weeks, it unlikley that it will go by itself.
Hope this answers your query.
Thanks and Regards
