If you're not seeing a dermatologist, find one. Dermatologists will find the cause (infection, auto immune reaction, etc) and treat it from there. While daily baths and application of moisturizers can help, especially with small outbreakd, bigger ones require stronger treatment, often systemic drugs.

Definitely get that Lyrica changed. Unfortunately, I can't think of any alternative medications are wine friendly. They're all hostile. However, with appropriate treatment decreasing the extent of the outbreak, you might be able to skip the medication and drink once or twice a week on good days.

Here's the scoop on treatment: https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/eczema/nummular-dermatitis#treatment
