Hi,
From the description it seems you could be having irritant or allergic dermatitis. The underlying cause has to be ruled out.
Use of antihistamine with mild steroid usually helps. In some cases one might require oral steroids. as the condition is recurrent, please meet a doctor to rule out the underlying cause.
Hope that helped.
Take care
