Hello, Dryness on the elbows that worsens in winter is often due to conditions like xerosis (dry skin) or eczema. The patches on your thighs could also be related. These are usually not alarming but may need proper care to prevent worsening. Keep the skin moisturized with a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoid hot showers.
Next Steps
I am happy to help you through an online consultation to assess your condition further and provide personalized advice if needed.
