Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

Based on your description, it's steroid sensitive relapsing contact dermatitis. An option for a longer remission with low or no recurrence would be to go for stronger immunomodulators agents like topical tacrolimus or pimecrolimus in consultation with your doctor.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
