A member asked:
What can i do naturally to get my necrobiosis lipoidicum diabectorum's active flair ups to go in remission well go inactive like the steroid injections do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Necrobiosis lipoid: I'm not aware of any natural meds for necrobiosis lipoidica. While there is no definitive cure, there are various treatments that can help control the flareups. Other than steroids, small studies have looked at tacrolimus, cyclosporine, Infliximab and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for flareups. The latter may be the closest you'll get to a "natural" treatment.
