Nowadys he has to be very careful when handling anything containing colourings, fragrances etc so uses only 'pure' soap.

That describes how your skin reacts when you "contact" irritating substances. (Thus, you have "contact dermatitis" -- not something caused from poor nutrition or health issue.) You could be allergic to cleaning compounds, extremely cold temperatures, jewelry, nail polish, hand creams, soap, etc. I found I was allergic to latex gloves! I didn't figure it out for two years, and my hands were itchy and irritated the whole time. When I stopped wearing the gloves, the dermatitis went away. In the meantime, try cortisone cream, which you can get without a prescription. It gives immediate relief from itching. There's also a great lotion that I swear by... it's called Amlactyn (or Amlactin). Many diabetics use it for their skin. Good luck!
