Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
I think you must be suffering from atopic dermatitis with recurrent bacterial infections. I suggest
1. Apply steroid with antibiotics cream like flutibact twice a day.
2. Take cetrizine with monteleukast one tab at bed time
3. use only cotton dresses
4. Avoid egg, fish, sea food and nuts
5. Get an IgE test done which could be confirmative of the diagnosis
Bye, have a nice day
