Hi,
It may be solar keratosis. It occurs due to exposure of skin to sun rays. So, protect the skin from the sun. Apply keratolytic oint like salicylic acid on the lesions. For that, consult the dermatologist and get an expert opinion regarding diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
