Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
No treatment modality is tested to give reliable results in case of this disease. It has not been thoroughly tested because of its rarity and disappearance of this disease within 1 or several years.
I hope you are diagnosed correctly by a competent dermatologist. For Lichen nitidus, steroids and immuno- suppressant drugs are given. So you have been given Execare and Tacroz. These are standard medications. I would like to ask if you have taken medicines for 3 years? If yes, topical steroid for so long will rather cause thinning of skin and extra irritation.
For itching if present , you can simply Aloevera gel and Tab Cetrizine 10 mg as and when needed basis.
If still you continue to get discomfort due to itching or it's appearance; you can consult dermatologist for treatment called- Phototherapy using UV-A light. Short-term side effects of this therapy may include nausea, headache and itching. You need to take extra care regarding light exposure.
I hope I have answered your query. In case of doubt, I shall be happy to help you.
Best regards,
Dr. Neelam.
