Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Welcome to health care magic,
It looks like a dermatitis or fungal infection here from the picture but the images are not so clear.Kindly take a clear picture and re-send it for better judgement.
However,You can apply corticosteroid (clobetasol) with anti-fungal (miconazole) cream (Brand name Tenovate-M) to subside this dry and itchy skin.
You should also take vitamin B complex with folic acid 5 mg once daily to prevent future recurrence of dry skin and to have a rapid healing.
If still symptoms persists then i would advice you to see dermatologist for clinical examination of the skin and appropriate treatment.
Hope this will help you.
Regards,
