I have the same problem, it started for me about 2 months ago when they began doing construction in the store I work at. I have an appointment to see a dermatologist. So far, all of the otc creams/ointments/pills I have used have little if any effect.When I take benedryl it makes it fade but not go away completely. If I am away from work for several days it almost completely clears up but only a few hours at work and it begins to get really red and then crack and bleed again. My primary physician said "it just looks like eczema to me" but I still requested a dermatologist referral. I'm going to request an allergy test and a culture.
