Reddish Dry Patches On The Skin Which Is Not Exposed To Sun. Cause?
I have some sort of skin condition (about 10 years now) basically any part of my body that isn't exposed to sun gets patches of dry red skin all over it. These patches do not itch and seem to be much more concentrated in places that aren't exposed to sun (for example, my arms are always exposed to sun, so they're normal, my belly is rarely exposed, so it just has a few small spots, and my thighs are NEVER exposed and they are completely covered.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
The description given by you is typical of mycosis fungoides.
It is a premalignant condition.
Biopsy needs to be done to confirm diagnosis.
for now take some antihistamine tablet.
Apply calamine lotion.
You will get instant relief.
Meet a dermatologist.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
