Atopic Dermatitis: Its a type of skin problem that is seasonal and resolves with topical medication. Lac-Hydrin lotion applied may help. You can get that at the pharmacy now, used to be on prescription.

Dermatitis: It is difficult to comment without having a look at the bumps and dry patches but this could be dermatitis. Please visit a family doctor who can examine properly and then make a diagnosis. In the meantime try and use simple moisturisers to keep the skin moist at all times

Dermatologist- asap: since you did not upload a photo of these skin areas,they must be visualized to make any kind of diagnosis. Re-submit your question with a photo attachment. For plain dry skin I advise Nivea or LubriDerm.
