HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the chronic skin condition and lichen in nature then it may remains there, still it is better to have dermatologic opinion, such skin lesion demands the clinical examination and without this nothing can be said properly, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
