Greetings. This probably looks like patches that have occurred due to chronic friction or probably macular lp. Avoid rubbing or scratching the area. However, it's important that you see a qualified dermatologist near you so that the accurate diagnosis can be made after due evaluation and examination. Hope this helps. Warm regards.
