It may be due to severe UV rays on to that particular site. Other cause may be due to severe repeated flexion of the arm. This can be treated by Ointments or creams.

It may be due to some viral or fungal infection. Sometimes it may be an allergy to a medicine. If there is any swelling on the lateral part of elbow,it may be Tennis elbow. It is better to show a skin specialist very soon.
