Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems like Allergic Contact Dermatitis caused due to some unknown allergen and few common causes for this can be Poison Ivy, washing detergents, leather, bugs and insects, latex and rubber, skin cosmetics, soaps etc. You should consult an Allergist or an Immunologist and get thoroughly evaluated and in case if allergy is ruled out he can advise oral anti allergic and steroids and in case if the symptoms are severe injectable steroids can be given for faster relief. In case of no relief or recurring episodes of the same the physician can advise you allergic testing like LAST test, patch test etc. to rule out the exact cause of allergen. Avoidance of the allergy agent and Immunotherapy can help. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .
