Good morning, ma'am,
How long have you noticed this?
Are you experiencing any symptoms such as pain or itching?
Have you tried anything for this?
Are you able to upload some well-lit images?

No it doesn't hurt and it doesn't sting.

Thanks for the feedback!
In the absence of other symptoms, the basis of treatment is moisturizing the skin and other non-pharmacological measures:
A fragrance-free moisturizer such as Aveeno, Cutibase, Base Glaxal, Cerave and others should be applied as often as needed. The cream should be applied at least 3 to 4 times a day, and whenever the need to scratch arises, if ever.
Avoid scented soaps, and after the bath or shower, avoid rubbing the skin vigorously: instead, lightly pat the skin to leave a thin layer of moisture, then apply the moisturizing cream within 5 minutes of getting out of the bath.
Otherwise, I only suggest monitoring the situation. If it persists for more than 2 weeks without improvement, gets worse, or spreads elsewhere, a doctor should be consulted for a thorough evaluation.
I hope I have been helpful and remain available if you have any further questions!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
