Hi,

It seems that probably you may be having lichen simplex chronicus. Due to continuos scratching such type of lesion occurs. It may be due to contact allergens. Try to find out responsible allergens. Stress and tension can be responsible factors. Kindly have relaxation. Avoid soap during bath.

I would suggest..

- steroid cream or tacrolimus oint
- antihistaminics
- Anxiolytic
- intradermal steroid injection

I hope this would help..

Thanks.
