Brief Answer:
Looks like fixed drug eruption, most likely to taxim AZ
Detailed Answer:
I have gone through your complaints and reviewed the attached photographs.
It seems to be fixed drug eruption which is an allergic reaction to the medicines you have taken mostly likely tablet taxim AZ.
I would recommend you to to not take this medicine again as it cause recurrence of itching on the same spotss as well as development of new lesions.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream diluted in a moisturising lotion on the affected areas twice daily for 2-3 weeks.
This will lighten them.
Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and should be used under the supervision of the doctor.
