Only curious, what was that?

About 2 years ago, the skin at the tip of my elbows had become darker, harder and itched like crazy. It was like that for a couple of weeks, then one morning it was fine (I suppose the "bad" part fell off?). It happened again a few days later, remained a couple of weeks, then nothing ever since.
I don't know what reminded me of it now, but I was just curious what had caused that. Does anyone know?

But apparently one can "cure" dry skin on the elbows by placing ach elbow in half a lemon.
It could be any random dry skin condition but I get eczema on my elbows, which flares up in extremes of temperature - if it's really sunny/ hot or really cold (middle of winter) .and then vanishes again.. which sounds like what you have but that doesn't mean it is the same.
Visit your GP or pop into your pharmacist who can tell you what it is and recommend a lotion/potion to help. I use E45.
