No data was given how the solvent was entered in the body: with breathing as gas or via the skin.
If the chemical was usually in contact with your skin, then it might have caused chronic inflammation of the skin. Real eczema might have been developed if you became allergic to the chemical.
Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic medications might be helpful to relieve the symptoms. Of course, avoiding any further contact with the chemical is highly recommended.
Visiting a toxicologist might give you more information about possible treatment.
