Brief Answer:
psoriasis

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
The images are not that clear.
It is looking like psoriasis, a skin disease with chronicity.
I can see white powder like scales on the lesions which suggests psoriasis.
You can apply a combination of steroid and salicylic acid like lobate s. This will give you some relief.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you

Yes Dr, there are white powder like scales which is there always on that.
Sometimes it may also bleed if i try to remove those scales.
