Go see a dermatologist. Your doctor is not a specialist in skin conditions. There are other possibilities... one, it may be a bacterial infection, I had something similar on my hands and it turned out to be a staph infection that I was prescribed antibiotics to clear it up. Another possibility is a cortisone cream that is prescription strength, or taken in pill or shot form.

Basically, get to a dermatologist.
