Hi,
It seems that you may be having atopic dermatitis. It is caused by may allergens like cows milk,eggs,nuts,sea food,pollens,grass,housedust,housedust mites,soap, detergents,cosmetics and so many... You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and investigations. He may find out the culprit allergens. And accordingly he may treat you. He might give antihistaminics and steroids in tappering doses. He may suggest some steroid or tacrolimus oint to apply. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
