Brief Answer:
Looks like lichen planus, apply topical steroids & antihistaminic
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it is looking like lichen planus.
It is a chronic immune mediated disease of the skin.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply potent topical steroids like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected area twice daily for 2-3 weeks.
Along with this take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once daily at bedtime if it is associated with itching.
These are prescription drugs and should be used under the supervision of the doctor.
