Very : Very difficult to tell without a clinical examination. It could be eczema, psoriasis, stasis dermatitis, or many other conditions. I would recommend you see a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment options. Read a little more about eczema and psoriasis at the link below (including pictures). I hope that helps.

What is this cranber: At times eczema or chronic fungal infection does not have any symptoms. Can try topical corticosteroids and anti-fungal creams twice day for 1 week, if not better need to see dermatologist for biopsy/culture. Watch for streaks/heat/pain that are signs of infection that need to be treated right away.
