    I think it may be eczema brought on by stress. Do not wash the area at all just use a cream that is designed specifically for dry and eczema prone skin. Use it mainly at night and then again lightly in the morning.You can buy a 1% hydrocortisone cream that you can use for 1 week only if the itching is bad,but no more than 1 week. If the hydrocortisone cream makes it worse stop immediately.

    Also,just a thought...have you used a new or different moisturising cream on the skin before this appeared?
