Brief Answer:
Eczematous skin condition
Detailed Answer:
Hello. thank you for writing to us
I am Dr. Kakkar(Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have viewed the images.
I can see dry patches of skin with redness, scaling and with follicular prominence. These patches seem to suggest that you have a chronic eczematous skin condition.
I suggest you to use an ammonium lactate or urea based intensive moisturizer e.g Amylac cream Or Xerina cream. Use it frequently.
In addition you must use a potent topical steroid and salicylic acid based ointment e.g Halovate S ointment (contains halobetasol propionate 0.05% and salicylic acid 3%). Use it twice daily over the patches after you apply the moisturizer.
I am sure the patches must be itchy,therefore, you may also take a tablet of cerizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.
These are prescription medications and you must use them under supervision and regular follow up of a dermatologist.
Regards
