Hello,
It could be an eczema. Other causes like psoriasis must be ruled out. As a first line management emollients like aloe vera creams or coal tar can be tried. If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
