Hello,
From the symptoms and treatment that you have described, it looks like eczema or dermatitis skin because steroids and emollients are very helpful in both of them. Allergic reaction is one of the important
causes of
eczema. Allergic reaction can occur to strong soaps, Solvents, chemicals, certain foods, food additives, plants, metals, cosmetics, even urine and faeces of some animals (dust mites).
Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.
