This could be a case of CAD ( contact allergic dermatitis) after peeling garlic. U have developed hypersensitivity with garlic peel. Stop peeling with naked hands. Try to use some barrier like gloves while peeling or doing house work.
Next Steps
Consult your dermatologist either online or in person for further management.
Health Tips
Don't peel garlic with naked hands, use a barrier for doing house hold work. Don't use any home remedies for the cure.
