I am so sorry you have not found a doctor you are comfortable with, that you can afford. This seems to be the case with most.
It must be very difficult to try and be working and deal with this too. I can imagine how uncomfortable you must be. Have you tried any of the treatments suggested here? There are many here with suggestions and ideas that have helped me through some scary and uncomfortable situations. The main thing is you are not alone in this. I know that does not make your symptoms any less but helps in dealing with them. I know this sounds simple but have you tried using Desitin zinc oxide ointment. Just to stay more comfortable while working. I forgot how comforting this can be until someone suggested as an alternate lotion to calm the skin. I guess because it protects the skin from outside irritants and keeps it from drying out. I hope you find ways of bringing yourself some relief and a doctor that you are comfortable with. Of course a way to pay one would help also. I dont know if you have a $ store near you but they usually have some of the products. I buy lotions (desitin), Peroxide and salt there. You seem very knowledgeable, dont get discouraged, This is hard to deal with.
