Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
It could be a fungal infection, or lichen planus, or else, if you belong to a belt in which leprosy is endemic, it could be a cause of concern. If there is a loss of sensation, please see a dermatologist. A skin biopsy may be required to arrive at a diagnosis.
Take care.
