2 months before, I got red silvery patches all over my skin of legs around 15 -16 and some of them in arms and at back also!! I used 1%cortisone cream also and patches are been lightened up... but are still visible!
But , now I think its becoming more dense...
Can you help me out... that what is this problem and what treatment do I need?

You should go to a dermatologist. If you've had this condition for so long and its not getting better it could be something serious. With so little details and so many possibilities as to what could be causing it only a dr will be able to help you determine the root of the problem.

Something serious like, something that needs a doctor's attention. Did you read what I wrote earlier? I said "only a dr will be able to help you determine the root of the problem." it could be anything from something simple like you're just allergic to the soap you've been using to who knows what, maybe some contagious rash that you need prescription medication for. You said you've had this problem for 2 months. And the way you described it makes it sound like its getting worse, not better.

My son has Pityriasis Rosea. If your rash looks like the image below ,it could be that.I am only going by your explanation.I am not a medical professional,this is just a guess on my part.
