Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history and description, you could be having asteatotic eczema or dry eczema. This is related to the dry skin which usually occurs in winter months.
Use a good moisturizer regularly 2-3 times a day.
Bathe using lukewarm water.
Use a humidifier.
Apply a mild steroid like 1% hydrocortisone twice a day on the rashes.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
