You may contact or irritant dermatitis, which causes the surface of the skin to be red and irritated. This can be caused by a reaction to chemicals (soap, lotion, perfume) or an allergy to certain fibers (e. g. , wool). If you have started using new products, stop. Make an appointment to see your physician if it doesn't improve soon.

You may have exzcema, it is a skin condition, basically really really dry skin hat shows up as a dry red patch that may be very itchy. Try hydricortizone cream.

Wash the skin with a bit of vinagar in the rinse water to neutralize any chemicals on the skin, and then apply aloe vera gel and vitamin e oil to the skin to protect it and help it heal.

It's probably eczema and you can get special creams (through a dermatologist). Petroleum jelly works great, it's just really messy.
