Thanks for your reply. i don't see an option to post pic. i was applying clobederm. took course of steriods started from 8 tablet a day for 2 weeks and reduced biweekly one by one. exact name i forgot and now have thrown the bottle as well. with that took imuran for two months. now have stoped everything because I was having really bad side effects plus due to fear of losing immunity during this pandemic. and now these lesions have started again v badly.

asalamwalaikum. on the base of watching pic I must say that it can be lichen planus but not sure ,if its confirmed lichen planus then you should know that its chronic relapsing disease and its treatment should be in step wise manner
use clobevate ointment not cream 0.05% and apply daily at night for 6 weeks
tab.piriton 4mg daily at night
after 6 weeks tell the response ,also check for hepatitis c

yes again try this ointment for 6 weeks and kindly remember its chronic disease, its recurrence is common. At one time you will feel no symptoms but other time you will have same comlaint.
