Hi.
Using steroids is not okay, and especially not while self-prescribing. First of all, use any anti-histamine you have at your disposal or that you can get your hands on. Next, start using a much more mild hand soap along with a very good moisturizing cream. Meet a dermatologist for more details on the situation as I cannot comment on it without a visual examination.
Best wishes.
