Skin check by MD: Crusted, flakely spots on the skin can be caused by many factors, the most common of which is a form of sundamage known as Actinic Keratosis. This is a precancerous spot that if left untreated may progress to a true skin cancer. Early detection and early treatment is how skin cancers are avoided/cured. Seek advice from a Plastic Surgeon or dermatologist.
