Brief Answer:
perforating disorder
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like perforating disease.
A disorder in which material from deeper layers are extruded through skin in the form of crust.
A biopsy is needed to confirm.
You can try vitamin E capsules for a month.
This helps a bit.
Let me know if there is any other doubts.
Thank you.
