Hi,
There is no absolute treatment what we can do is to control the outbreak of disease with topical steroid and tropical calcineurin inhibitor. In severe cases, oral Methotrexate is the preferred drug.
Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,
Dr. Atishay Bukharia
