Hi,
Most probably you may be having allergic contact dermatitis. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. There may be some triggering allergens.. like cosmetics,toothpaste,sun rays,house dust,house dust mites,pollens....etc
Still, I would recommend...
- antihistaminics like levocetirizine
- steroids in tappering dose
- mild steroid cream application
- avoidance of suspected allergen
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
