without seeing them it is very difficult to make a suggestion.

Is the "covering" moist or dry?  little superficial cracks in it? raised?

If moist, could very well be eczema with yeast...would do gentian violet QD 
X 5-7 days and continue APNO.

If dry and cracked and raised, sounds like psoriasis, which would need a 
potent steroid...could also have yeast associated with it, so gentian violet 
worth a try.

Let us know what works--
