Generalize dry skin does not cause sores (unless kitty scratches herself during grooming or frustration), so you may be correct about it being a previous scab from fighting with her sibling. But it could also be an allergy as well (or mites, flea allergy, food or environmental allergy). If these 'sores' are appearing rapidly, best to have them checked by your vet.
