Suggest Treatment For A Large Patch Of Dead Skin On Leg

My boyfriend has a really large black patch of dead skin on his leg and we don t know what it is. He scratches it all the time, it doesn t get worse but it doesn t get better either. It s really scaley and rough and black. He did some research and read that it might be the sign of some type of cancer, could this be true ? He s had it for some years now.
