Hi there

It appears that you may have an allergy to something you are touching frequently(contact dermatitis). Start out by identifying at which times of the day the reaction is the worst and that may help you identify the culprit. You could also try wearing gloves and see if there is a difference. Best to identify the cause before trying other therapy.
