Sounds to me like you have a severe case of contact dermatitis. No other way to get rid of than stopping what you are doing, applying medication and waiting until it clears up. I am ex RAF and I have seen what can happen if this problem is not treated seriously. I saw someone stretchered on to a plane because his skin was so sore he couldn't walk without pain. This was caused by contact with aviation fuel which is nothing more than paraffin.
Go back to the docs and see what he has to say. Treat it with respect or you could be permanently disabled.
