Dermatologist,  's  Response
Thank you for your question.
From your history it loks like eczema, may atopic eczema.
I suggest to try with adding moisturisor and continue your present medications.
Kindly avoid irritating your skin by puting this and that. dont try such home remdies without doctors advise as your skin seems to be sensitive and can react to vinegar and all. If you dont get relief with above said things in 3 days then please visit a dermatologist as you may need oral medicines sometimes.
Thank you.
