Hello
According to your history of illness I recommend you please consult a dermatologist and get his opinion as it was mere coincidence that you develop this sort of allergy .
In my opinion this is eczematous dermatitis and cause is some chemicals present in that powder , which you used one year back.
Prednisolone is not a treatment but this provide some symptomatic relief .
When such cases visit I prescribe them non steroidal cream ( ointment ) .
Montelukast +fexofenadine tablet twice in day for 15 days .
Wash hand with potassium permangnant solution , dry it and then apply cream.
If no relief then consult a dermatologist and get his opinion.
Hope this will help you.
