Hi,
It may be atopic dermatitis.
Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Antihistaminics like desloratidine 5 mg twice a day, steroid in the tapering dose for few weeks and application of tacrolimus oint 0.03% might improve the condition.
Avoid contact with suspected allergens.
Avoid eggs,fish,prawns,cashew nut,peas,soya,fermented food in diet.
Avoid soap during bath.
Keep the mind cool.
I hope this might help you.
Thanks.
