unfortunately it's impossible to diagnose this type of skin problem without doing a physical exam. so many things can cause the type of lesion you're describing anything from eczema to skin cancer. your best bet if the scaly patch doesn't clear up on its own within a week or two is to see either your primary care provider or a dermatologist. either of them should be able to diagnose this and advise you as to treatment if any. meanwhile i would advise not treating this scaly patch with anything other than moisturizer (lotion). i hope you feel better soon!
a small red irregular scaly and painful to the touch area has developed over my eyebrow. what is is? should i see a dr?
