Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but such an itchy patch can be due to dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, dermatomyositis or confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. To confirm the diagnosis, I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist and get a biopsy skin done.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
