Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Both lichen planus and fungal infection can present with black spots.
However spots of lichen planus are very itchy.
You can try application of antifungal cream.
If it fungal lesions will reduce in a week.
Lichen planus is recurrent and lesions will keep recurring.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
