Hi,
After reading your history it appears that you might have developed allergic dermatitis to some contact allergen or environmental factors such as dust etc. I advise you to not pinch or pop the area otherwise these areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. You can apply an steroid cream such as cortisone cream. If itching is present then can take benadryl accordingly. Apply a plenty of moisturizers over the affected area. If these increase then consult a dermatologist for higher treatment
