Also need a potent topical steroid cream
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
I have viewed the image.
This could be a patch of psoriasis.
In addition to the moisturizing lotion you should also use a potent topical steroid e.g either Clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream or Halobetasol propionate 0.05% cream, 2x daily, for these patches (prescription may be required from your local physician for the same).
