    Hi

    retrace the products you are using and eliminate one by one, I have the same as you at times and I find if I use certain products eg: shampoo, mousse, shower gel  even if I change a product that I haven't used for ages it can set me off. Stress can trigger flare ups . See the doctor and see if he can prescribe a mild steroid cream.  Hope this helps

    hi, 

    i suggest you also have a diary. Write whatever you think triggered. Mine was latex and so I can easily avoid products with latex. what touches the skin. When and what happened before the condition worsen, things like that. So you can easily identify which products to avoid.

    by the way.. whatever you do, i suggest you use 100% cotton clothings while still figuring out what triggers. then slowly try products you've been using one by one. 

    i hope this helps
