Brief Answer:
Porokeratosis, can try 5 florouracil
Detailed Answer:
These are looking like porokeratosis.
It is a chronic and resistant hyperkeratotic skin condition.
I would recommend you to apply 5 florouracil 5 percent cream on the affected areas once daily for 3-4 weeks.
This will provide some improvement.
It is a prescription drug and you need to see the doctor in person to get it.
Oral medicines are not very effective in this condition.
