Hello
Thanks for the query
Neurodermatitis also known as lichen simplex chronicus is an auto immune disorders characterised by surely itchy skin which gradually thins out and become scarred.
I am sorry to say there is no permanent cure for this.
The best way to control it is intra lesions steroid infection. This will help in further extension of disease.
To control itch a strong anti histamine like doxepin can be used.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
