Hard to see: Your profile pic is really small, but common reasons for patchy, flaky areas of skin include nummular eczema and psoriasis. If it is just an area of depigmented skin, then it could be vitiligo, but the flakiness makes that less likely. Try changing your shampoo/hair care products to something gentler, or try dandruff shampoos (e.g., t/sal). If that doesn't work, see a dermatologist.
