You have asked questions about two separate problems. See a Dermatologist about your skin symptoms. If he/she feels the cause of your symptoms is an allergic response, your will be referred on to an Allergist.

No, you have a recurrent hand dermatitis that needs something stronger than vaseline to control. (Vaseline has no active ingredients in it.) If OTC hydrocortisone cream does not solve the problem, you will need to see a dermatologist for a prescription-strength cream.
