Greetings. You need to re-visit your dermatologist / see a qualified dermatologist in your city - to reconsider the diagnosis since your symptoms seem to be recurring despite use of emollients like olesoft. YOu could be having a dry eczema / psoriasiform condition or even a fungal infection. You could also send pictures of the same on follow up messaging. Warm regards.
Next Steps
see a qualified dermatologist
Health Tips
