Hi, welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Your skin is most probably damaged by the harsh and dry weather conditions there. The damaged skin would have to completely exfoliate, before the scaling stops. An emollient cream (moisturizer) and salicylic acid cream would help in this. Consult a dermatologist if the symptoms persist.
