Suggest Treatment For Skin Colored Bumps On The Arms And Feet

Hi, I have some white/skin coloured bumps on my arms and feet . They are also present on the shaft of my penis. I m a 32year old married male. I have done Biopsy and it is found as Lichen Nitidus. Doctor said that it won t create any harm on my body so i can leave it as it such. Is there any effective way of curing this problem.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Lichen nitidus is an inflammatory condition of skin characterized clinically by asymptomatic skin-colored small papules. Why it happens is not known. It is a self-limiting condition that means it spontaneously resolve with time without any treatment. It will not harm you in anyway. You can apply steroid cream locally.
Advice
1.     Apply betamethasone cream locally twice daily for one month
thanks
