Brief Answer:
Eczema present. Superficial infections need to be ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. It indeed sounds like eczema. Eczema and hives are inter-related. I would strongly insist you to use some moisturizer like aloe vera lotion. This is very important. You also need to take some antiallergic like cetirizine. Montair LC (monteleukast + levocetirizine) is better but is a prescription medicine. Continue the other medicines as advised.
Based on the description of the recent status, inflammation is evident. I would insist you to upload an image. Based on that I would guide you further.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
