Looks like you are suffering from a condition called cutaneous amyloidosis. This is a condition where amyloid proteins are deposited in the skin. Rubbing the skin is one of the cause and worsens the condition. You will need to use medicines like modified kigmans formula or azelic acid creams. TCA peels have also been found useful. Please visit a nearby dermatologist for the same. Warm regards. Dr. Rajdeep Mysore. Chirag Hospital Bangalore
