Can a severe skin dryness in some places indicate some sort of skin cancer?

Five years ago my husband was found to have cancerous moles. They were taken out and he took some treatment for that. He's been checking with dermathologist every 6 months, and everything seems to be fine. Just 2 weeks ago, I saw some very dry places in his skin (shoulders and belly). They look like very dry skin 4 inch diameter "spots".. Same color of skin, just it looks very dry in there. Could this be a warning of something else?
