Brief Answer:
Lichen planus
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like lichen planus, an autoimmune disorder characterised by itch and blackish discoloration of skin.
I treat such cases with topical steroid cream and oral antihistamines.
It gives good response within two weeks.
You can try this in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
It can be controlled
Detailed Answer:
Hello
It can be controlled but cannot be totally cured.
I treat such cases with tapering steroid creams.
Initially with strong creams like Clobetasol followed by milder steroids like mometasone.
This gives good control of the disease.
