Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Severe dryness (Xerosis) can be associated with visible flaking of old skin. However it is better to rule out diseases like psoriasis which is associated with severe flaking by consulting a dermatologist.
She should apply a moisturizing lotion three times a day once soon after bath. Avoid taking bath in hot water and use a mild soap.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
