Lichen Nitidus?

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hey. I've had these white/skin coloured bumps on various parts of my body for the last 6-8 weeks or so. They don't itch, hurt or cause any issue, more just cosmetic and my paranoia that it will get worse. Can anyone that has maybe had this before confirm with my photos? Or if you have had something similar but was diagnosed with something else would be great to hear. Many thanks.

    It seems to be infection of some sort but it should go away naturally after a few weeks. If not, then make sure you see the doctor for cream. Alternatively you could try creams over the counter.

      hey Joshua.

      Sorry ive only just seen your reply. I've probably had this for around 2 months now, the good news is that it doesnt appear to be spreading. Ive also noticed some darker areas appearing around some of these white patches which im unsure of, maybe a good sign? ive added an image below to show this
