Answer
Perhaps is eczema, or tinea etc...could you take some web cam pictures? (panoramics and close-up; or ordinary pictures  by a digital camara); also you could go to a photos store to take the pictures. if yes, please send them like attachment to jvelasq51@hotmail.com  with the words JMC in the subject of your mail message (if don't put this words, your mail is discarded by the system). If not, I highly suggest that you make an appointment to see a board certified dermatologist preferably one at university teaching hospitals.
If there is ever anything I can do to give something back to you, feel free to tell it, to answer your questions.
Sincerely,
Uribe.
