Hi,
It seems to be a patch of chronic eczema. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like Clobetasol Propionate cream on the affected area and take antihistaminic like tablet Hydroxyzine 10 mg for 3 weeks.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
