Could be eczema.: It could be eczema or atopic dermatitis. See your family doctor. Use only mild soap and do not wash the patches excessively. Do not apply alcohol or peroxide as it could further dry the skin and cause more flaking.

I felt a small hard bump on the back on my neck right under the hairline, what is that? I work on a computer all day, could it be tension? I feel the bump on only on the left side of my head.
