How do I get rid of this?
This happened from an injury , and it has been like that since a year ! Maybe it increased and spreaded a little around! Sometimes, very rarely it itches ! Also I have OCD , so I can't keep my hands off it ! I showed to a dermatologist and he gave me CLOBETASOL TENTOVATE , but it just made it dry scaly and more itchy, and also it lead to the birth of that small one beside it ! Help me !
