Dry flaky skin on knee. What is it?

I’ve had this dry skin patch on my knee for at least 2 months now. It’s only on one knee (on the part where I would kneel) and seems to be something more than just dry skin. It gets flaky and itchy sometimes but that may be from the dryness. It is slightly red underneath. I did some searching on the internet and thought maybe eczema but that seems to mostly happen to young children and I’m in my 40s. It does seem to improve when I put skin cream or coconut oil on it, but it doesn’t seem to want to go away and then it seems to get worse again if I don’t keep putting something on it. What can this be? I’m hoping to be able to treat it naturally rather than with medication.
