Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to dyshidrotic eczema.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
I also suggest using a steroid cream such as Betametasone cream.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
