Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
From your description it seems that you are having an allergic dermatitis or eczema. A direct examiation by a dermatologist is essential for proper diagnosis.
Meanwhile you can take an anti allergic like cetrizine or fexofenadine orally and apply a steroid based antiseptic ointment locally.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
