Here is a picture of the itchy rash that my granddaughter has on her back, chest, neck and face.
Brief Answer:
This is suggestive of lichen planus!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the image.
I have reviewed the image and this is suggestive of lichen planus. I will suggest that you see a dermatologist for conformation and treatment. This often happens when the body for some reasons attaches it own cells. Drugs that suppress the immune system such as steroids and retinoids could be of help. However, before talking about treatment possibilities, let’s get this diagnosis right first. Visit a dermatologist and let me know what he/she thinks.
Until then, Iw isn your daughter well and do keep me updated.
