HI
Well come to HCM
This may be due to contact dermatitis, better to avoid the contact with the causative factor, some kind of common chemicals may be responsible for this and this could detergent, washing powders, cosmetic preparation, etc. you can try Beclomethasone cream this would cure the condition, take care.
