What Causes Skin Rashes, Itching And Black Spots On Left Leg?

you may need oral steroids
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query.
I understand your concern.
Your doctor very correctly told you about Lichen planus that the condition can be controlled by medications but cannot be cured.
In non responding and rapidly spreading rashes, consideration is given to start oral steroids. In your old prescription, you were started on Tablet Omnacortil which is a steroid. In your new prescription, ypu have not been prescribed steroids. In such situations, short course of oral steroids help.
Once disease activity is controlled, oral steroids can be tapered slowly.
You should discuss this with your doctor.
I am sure that he would agree with this.
You may continue to apply topical medications.
Avoid scratching the area else the rash would spread.
You may take antihistaminics like levocetrizine for symptomatic relief.
Visit your doctor and share my opinion with him.
Take care.
