Lichen planus is the likely possibility

Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I am Dr. Kakkar(Dermatologist). I have noted your concern and I have viewed the images.

I can see red to purplish, flat topped, shiny bumps/ papules in this image. This seems like Lichen planus(LP)
I would like to know are they itchy? Lichen planus usually is itchy.
