Hello,
It could be due to eczema, or psoriasis as well. I suggest you to a dermatological opinion for these lesions. It would be of great help for me if you have shared a picture of your lesions. You need to get tested for above mentioned problems after proper consultation with a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
