Hi,
It seems that you may be having allergic or irritant contact dermatitis.
Still, you should be investigated to rule out internal diseases...thyroid dysfunction,DM,anaemia,HIV,malignancy,renal diseases,hepatic diseases..etc
If you skin is dry, it may be xerosis.
It may be stress induced.. Prurigo.
Take ashort course of steroid in tappering dose.
Antihistaminics hydroxyzine,levocetirizine or desloratidine may bevtaken.
If hyperacidity is there,take femotidin or omeprazole.
Apply mid potency steroid cream.
Avoid soap bath.
You can use dettol liquid.
Wear cotton clothes.
Avoid stress.
Avoid fermented food, prawns,eggs, fish and brinjal in food.

I hope you will improve.
Still, you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment.

Thanks.
