    It sounds like it may be some sort of eczema (which tends to be red and puffed up and can bleed, often caused by dry skin) or quite possibly something called 'ichthyosis vulgaris' (characterized by dry skin that eventually forms hexagonal scales). It would depend on what your skin looks like, though.

    Please note that I am not a professional dermatologist and that I speak only from personal experience with both conditions.
