Hello. Thanks for attaching the pics for reference. From the pics it seems to be dry skin patch. Such localized dryness can occur as a results for dry skin and sun exposure. Use a good moisturiser containing only liquid paraffin or white soft paraffin 2 to 3 times a day. Before going outside you should wear full sleeves shirt and sunscreen over the arms, hands. Avoid soap over the face and do not do scrubbing while having bath.
Next Steps
Ample moisturiser and suncreen
