Toothpaste: Your symptoms do not seem like anything that toothpaste would help. I would visit a dermatologist or your primary physician for an evaluation.

Do not recommend: Tooth pastes may even more irritate your skin.

No! Dangerous!: Toothpaste is formulated to be used in your mouth, not on your skin or anywhere else. Can cause burn-like skin reaction. Please see a skin specialist, a Dermatologist, for appropriate care. DIY treatment usually ranges from ineffective to harmful.
