Hi
From the description provided, I suspect mainly an allergic cause for such skin presentation.
See I would to consider various eczema also.
You should avoid using any irritants over the skin.
Just use mild cleansers or soap for cleaning.
Wear cotton clothes as far as possible.
Do not use any irritants like dettol over skin.
Take oral antihistamines for the associated discomfort or itching.
See a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
