Eczema Treatment Care

I have had a faint rash all over my body for the last two years. It is really itchy. It started a week after I stayed in a hotel for a week. It was all over my body but after awhile it went to just my hands. I just recently stayed in a hotel or a week and it happened all over my body again. It starts inbetween my thighs and then to the back of my neck and ears and face and then to my arms. I’m wondering if it was bleach they used at the hotels? I have been constantly using bleach on my towels and sheets for the last two years. I thought it might be bleach because my doctor prescribed me allergy medicine and steroids to reduce inflammation and it went away and was gone until I washed my pillow cases and towels in bleach and it came back. This time it started on my face… And it burns like hell and itches!
Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve been to my family doctor and a dermatologist and they aren’t sure what it is. I’m thinking it’s allergic contact dermatitis/ irritant contact dermatitis.
Should I dilute some bleach and do a patch test?
And btw my rash is really faint and bumpy like mosquito bites. It doesn’t burn, except for my face, but it itches like crazy! It is not on my hands anymore, but it is now on my face, neck, ears, and inner thighs. I think it’s everywhere because the bleach on the towel I use to dry off with? Help?! Thanks
