Dry and flaky skin on legs

Hi everyone,
just a quick question about Mustard my little Horsfiled, I've noticed over the last week or so she has a few little nicks on her front legs that are flaky and dry, I'm not sure if there little pecks of her sister Honey (she gets a bit nasty sometimes around food),or its a skin condition I should be looking out for. Mustard doesnt seem to be in any distress. Are there any treatments I can get for her to get moisture into her skin? Thanks, Abee

Isn't it just shedding it's skin?

Aaaw, thanks! I wasn't 100% torts shedded to be honest, its a bit unclear in books. But they do look erm... baggy they have grown a lot lately, so is it kinda like stretch marks? So shall I keep bathing them as normal will this help the process along or hinder it? Oooh Stells, there is no redness
