hello,
thank you for your query.
it may be due to pressure over the elbow areas during reading or working etc.
some skin conditions show this feature which i called koebner phenomena.
like psoriasis, lichen planus, lichen nitidus, pityriasis rubra pilaris, and keratosis follicularis etc.
u need to consult a dermatologist because without examining the lesion treatment is not possible.
hope this will help you.
