Skin cells are sloughed 24 hours per day. If there is a history of skin inflammation or hyperactive cell production or sloughing, areas of flaky skin can occur. Watch the area for repeated occurrences. If there is a pattern,or you notice redness, itchiness or other symptoms talk to your personal Dr or a dermatologist for a work up.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
