Hi,
It seems to be lichen simplex chronicus which is a chronic skin condition. I would recommend you to apply potent topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once daily for 4 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
