A member asked:

How can i address red, scaly skin patches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too general.: There are so many causes of red, scaly patches that we cannot possibly give you an intelligent answer without more information. If this is a new development, you should see a dermatologist and get a definitive diagnosis and treatment.
