Hello,
It can be due to contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis or eczema. Since it is non itchy, it is less likely to be due to a fungal infection. Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky,dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas of the body. People with seborrheic dermatitis produce too much sebum (the natural skin oil). Later, pityrosporum yeast grows excessively in the sebum, sometime along with bacteria, making the dermatitis more persistent.

Take some oral antihistaminic and wear cotton clothes. If the symptoms persist then please get it evaluated for seborrheic dermatitis and the medical conditions mentioned above.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing.
