lichen planus or fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

The lesion seems to lichen planus or fungal infection. Both are similar and very itchy.
However, the treatment is different.
I will suggest you to get examined by a dermatologist and get appropriate treatment.
In the meantime,you can take allegra or certrizine to get relief from itching.
