The two ways of managing contact dermatitis are first knowing exactly what is causing it and second treating the active dermatitis with a prescription topical medicine. Have you been patch tested?

That’s what you need to do in order to figure out what it is you are allergic to. Only a Consultant Dermatologist will be able to do this for you and choose the correct patch tests based on your history and examination.
