Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is my advice.
From what you describe it looks like eczema.
Try to keep your skin free from chemicals that trigger it.
Keep area well clean and dry.
Use gentle soap for it.
Keep area well moisturise with creams and lotions.
Petroleum jelly works good.
Hope I have answered the question.
