Hi,
It seems that you may be having atopic dermatitis.
Your skin would be dry.
There are so may allergens , which can cause dermatitis.
Soap,water,dust,fume,cosmetics,deodorants.clothes...etc might cause the disease.
Even, stress may exacerbat the disease
Soap should be avoided in bath.
Antihistaminics may be taken to relieve itching.
Apply steroid cream or tacrolimus oint to improve the disease.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
