Brief Answer:
Seems to be lichenified eczema, use cortisone, moisturisers
Detailed Answer:
According to your complaints it seems to be dry patch of lichenified eczema.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply Cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily along with frequent and liberal application of moisturizing creams for 2-3 weeks.
For itching I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine 4 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
This should help in resolving your spot.
