Hi. Greetings. This could be a hypertrophic lichen planus. You need to see a dermatologist for confirmation and get this treated. Other possibility is lichen Simplex chronicus. Avoid scratching. Use loads of a moisturiser - a bland one like emoderm. Doesn't look like psoriasis in the pics. Hope this helps. Warm regards, Dr Govind S Mittal, Excel care hospital, Bangalore.
