Brief Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Thanks for the query. You have given an excellent description and good photographs. The most probable diagnosis according to me is Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP). It is a disorder of skin characterised by hyper proliferation of skin and is seen as white or red patch mainly around hair follicals. Please apply flutivate E lotion. This will give you relief. Apply it for a week and let me know the response. Take an anti histamine tablet like cetrizine, if you have itch. Thank you
