Dry skin: Try moisturizing more often - take less hot showers (the heat dries out your skin) and it could be mild eczema.

Possibly eczema: Eczema is extremely common, and is characterized by dry, itchy skin and is often in the elbow creases. It tends to flare in the winter. Start with a good moisturizer 2-3 times daily, avoid hot showers, and try not to scratch. If not improving, see a dermatologist.
