Hello,

Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com. I can understand your concern.

This hardened skin indicates that there is still activity in the lesions. I would recommend application of a prescription strength steroid cream like mometasone furoate cream to be applied twice a day for two weeks.
In case of itching, you can take an anti histamine like claritin.

This should help resolve your concern. In case it doesn't start subsiding in a week, it's best to visit your doctor so he can physically examine you and opine.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Take care
