There are: a number of treatments for this relatively UNCOMMON skin disorder seen usually in OLDER patients. TETRACYCLINE has been used with some success. Your Dermatologist may wish to try a NUMBER of therapies..FOLLOW him/her! Hope this is helpful Dr Z

VisualDX: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!

Lab dx: This diagnosis is made on BIOPSY, and always questionable. Cannot diagnose it by its appearance, so there can be no diagnosis by internet.What did the DR suggest?????? I fail to comprehend "no cortisone". Topical triamcinolone is quite safe. Alevicyn antipruritic gel spray may control itch. PUVA has been very effective. Is there a history of severe sun damage?
