Suggest Remedy For Dry Itchy Patches On Legs

I have circular dry patches on my legs. They are very dry and itchy. Some are as big as a nickel. I've been having these patches on my legs for 3 years now. They don't itch all the time but every so often I get the urge to itch them. Each place that the patches are seemed to be the same areas where a mosquito has bitten me. What could this be and how can I treat it?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the chronic dermatological condition then this need to be rule out for the psoriasis and for that you need to see the dermatologist there you may be in need of some investigations, till then this can be tried with "Terbinafine cream" because this could be associated with some fungal infection, hope this information helps, take care.
