I saw a dermatologist today. Apparently, dermatologist are in high demand here, so I had to drive to Annapolis for the appointment. Thankfully, she was able to render a diagnosis: eczema. She said that she didn't know what caused it but that that was fairly unimportant since the treatment would be the same regardless of the source of the condition. So now I have to apply a topical steroid cream for the next two weeks; after that, I should be fine. And even though we don't know what caused the eczema to appear, the likelihood of it becoming chronic is extremely low.
Honestly, the toughest part about the diagnosis was the long drive there and back. But the drive was well worth knowing what's wrong and that it's on its way out.
