Hard to say,: Two possibilities are eczema and psoriasis, but there are others. Hard to say without seeing. You can see your doc or consider using Healthtap Prime and uploading a picture, if you wish, where more questions about your history can be asked and answered. The advice either way will be better than anything we can do with so little room here for you to give enough history. Use only scent-free stuff.

Evaluation: Hi, you need to see a doctor ASAP for evaluation, no way to diagnose a skin lesion without laying an eye on it. It could be fungus infection, it could be psoriasis (less likely because the lesions are in the wrong place for psoriasis) and lots of other possibilities.
