Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
1.Your patch may be due to early psoriasis- If Silvery scales will be present.
2. May be due to chronic irritation - if you quite often kneel down during prayers or due to any other reason.
3. Pityriasis rubra pilaris - Some sort deficiency or problem in absorbing Vitamin A or Amino-acids.
Consult your dermatologist and have the treatment you will be alright.
