Probably eczema, follow the advice below

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

I already reviewed the attached reports.
The symptoms seem to be related to eczema.
I recommend using a mild steroid cream such as Hydrocortisone cream.
I also suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.

Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
