Brief Answer:
Cortisone cream, moisturizing lotion, upload pictures

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

These could be eczematous patches.
Apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and liberal application of a moisturizing lotion on the entire arm 2-3 times in a day.
If possible upload the pictures of the affected area so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
