Brief Answer:
Lichen Nitidus

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
thank you.
Seems like a Lichen Nitidus. It is an eczematous skin condition. I suggest you to use a moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g either triamcinolone acetonide or mometasone furoate 0.1 % cream, twice daily. These are prescription medications. You may take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.
Take care
