Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
A well defined dry patch of skin over gluteal area or in between thighs could be due to fungal infection ( tinea cruris). The same can only be confirmed by a clinical examination. If its tinea infection, it will respond to antifungal creams like clotrimazole or terbinafine cream. I would advise that you meet a dermatologist nearby.
Take care
