Dermatitis: It sounds like you have some form of dermatitis...An inflammation of the skin. Try taking lukewarm (not hot) showers, using cerave cream as a moisturizer after bathing and dove soap for cleansing your skin. You may also use a Hydrocortisone product until you can see you dermatologist to get a prescription strength topical steroid to heal your skin.
