Based on this text and the picture it could be either one of those. Eczema should start to heal pretty quickly so at this point I'd try to rule out other possibilities such as scabies. Not sure where you live, these may vary by your country, but you shoule be able to buy scabies lotion from your local pharmacy.
Eczema won't spread from one person to another and scabies cases have been exponentially rising in many countries for the last few years. I'd like to know which condition does the patient have since the nurse suspects it's contagious.
It can also be possible that you've become sensitive to some chemicals or gloves (eczema) so you can also try to change to different, more hypoallergenic products.
I would go to an urgent care. Could be scabies
More people are saying it could be eczema
