Dermatologist 's  Response
According to your history it appears to be a case of eczema. You may apply cortisone cream over the spot twice daily alond with the some good moisturising lotion. Also avoid using harsh soaps and hot water for bathing. You can also apply oil on your body. If the spot doesnt get better in 2 weeks after starting this treatment you should consult a doctor.
