Brief Answer:
Eczematous patch, topical steroid & moisturising lotion

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph.
It seems to be an eczematous patch.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily along with frequent and regular application of a moisturising lotion on the entire arm 2-3 times in a day for 10-14 days.
This should resolve your problem.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
