General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. Your symptoms are suggestive of a skin related ailment and not nerve related. I would think of either contact dermatitis or psoriasis - especially if there is history of contact with an allergenic substance or if you are going through some kind of stress at present. Liberal application of a moisturiser may be helpful. Hope this helps.
