Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and gone through your complaints.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream (tenovate cream) on the affected areas twice daily along with application of a good moisturising lotion like cetaphil moisturising lotion on the entire arm 2-3 times in a day.
