Brief Answer:
Lichen Planus
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the information.
I have seen the image attached.
The appearance makes me suspicious of Lichen Planus.
I strongly recommend you to visit a dermatologist for a thorough clinical examination to diagnose the condition.
The earlier it is diagnosed, the better recovery we can expect.
I will not recommend you to use any over the counter medications which may not end in favouring your health.
Regards,
Lichen Planus
