Dermatitis: is inflamation of the skin and can be caused by infection, reaction or contact with allergen or irritant chemical or friction. Since the skin is flaky, start with a moisurizer, such as Vaseline. If thre is no resolution in a few weeks, get an exam from a dermatologist. Skin cancer may appear like this at onset.
