I know what you mean. I was kind of scared at first but went ahead and gave it a try because I guess the molecules of petroleum are too big to clog your pores. To apply, I just put it on my fingertips and tap it onto my skin but with 8 fingers at a time cause it's faster. I would just slather it all over but my acne spot treatments get in the way. I'm based in the US but its so common you can get it pretty much anywhere. Here's the amazon link for starters. They come in sizes way smaller than this also.
I recommend using a hydrating toner. This stuff helps the moisturizer sink in better. A popular recommendation is Hada Labo gokujyun lotion. I'm on my second bottle and I will keep repurchasing it. It's also fragrance-free.
Another recommendation would be using an occlusive after moisturizer. It locks in the moisture so it doesn't evaporate from your skin. There's good ol' Vaseline, Aquaphor, and CeraVe healing ointment (which is my personal favorite). They're all fragrance-free. You only need a small amount to cover the face. I use like... a dime size amount.

I second this I'm happy to help, but if you still want to go to that shop, then you should definitely get this and this. So you can be lubed up and look good when you go back to get FUCKED.
I think the way to beat it is to not clench the booty hole. You still have a couple of weeks until Draft-Day. I'd recommend a couple containers of this and some bananas and cucumbers? Your goal should be to mitigate the potential damage and pain.
The only downside to this is your butt might be whistling for the next couple months.
The fact that you've seen it on multiple body parts and has been around through the bulk of your adolescence and young adult age makes me think eczema that much more.
I think at this point you need to get official word from a dermatologist. As soireeduthe is suggesting, this could also be a fungal infection. The treatment of fungus and treatment of eczema are very very different. Only a doctor can distinguish between the two.
What you can do in the interim is to try the following moisturization protocol which I posted in another thread and see if it helps any:
I'd like you to moisturize using vaseline and I want you to apply it in a specific way. Shower with warm water (enough to get the bathroom steamy but not boiling hot). When you dry your feet, pat your feet dry and while there's a thin layer of water still on the feet, I want you to apply the vaseline. Leave that on overnight.

People don't like it because it's greasy but I tell you it works. If you want the vaseline lotion, get the one with the absolute least number of ingredients.
Other things that can help: humidifier in the bedroom, warm air, and diligent moisturization.
See if that gives you any relief. It often takes upwards of a week to see any results at all. In the mean time, get to a doc's office if you can!
