HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the given history here indicate the two strong possibilities one is dry eczema and second would be psoriasis, in both of this condition I would suggest to initially treat this with the local steroid preparation and the best agent would be "Beclomethasone" with keratolytic agent (Salicylic acid) if this fails to respond then it need to be examined with dermatologist, hope this information helps you have nice day.
