Keep up with the high steroid cream 0.1% , and I find that whichever brand is working, eventually it dies off in effectiveness and I need to try a new one.
Try getting some sun, or fake tanning in this case, while keeping moisturizer rubbed in. Try to get some breathable gloves if you can, so that you can wear them during certain activity to reduce infections. I get it on my feet, so I would bring 3 pairs of socks with me to change as the day went on.
Since there is no clear solution, you need to keep trying things. For instance, sometimes it is triggered in relation to allergies. You could try the homerun diet. Avoid milk products for the whole month, document any effects, avoid all citrus for a whole month, avoid all shellfish for a whole month, avoid all gluten for a whole month. It is pretty intense to avoid something, but you MAY just find that your skin stops being irritated.
Be patient and keep calm. I've developed into a zen master of ignoring itchs and other skin signals due to needing to be able to function with a clear head.

My cream is .2%, not sure if that is a factor.
But when I notice or feel a little flare up, I immediately put some of the cream on, and by next day, I usually have 100% relief.
