Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
I think that your symptoms are related to dermatitis.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
1)Take an oral allergy or anti-itch medication such as Zyrtec.
2Take a bleach bath.
3)Apply an anti-itch cream or calamine lotion to the affected area.
4)Moisturize your skin at least twice a day.
5)Avoid scratching.
6)Apply cool, wet compresses.
7)Take a warm bath.
8)Choose mild soaps without dyes or perfumes.
9)Use a humidifier.
10)Wear cool, smooth-textured cotton clothing.
11)Treat stress and anxiety.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
