How Can Dermatomyositis Treated?
My granddaughter has been diagnosed with Dermatomyositis. She is treated at University of Michigan, by a rheumatologist and a dermatologist. She is 17 years old, and has suffered with this for about 2 years. Does Mayo Clinic have an aggressive treatment for this disease?

Hello.
Thank you for trusting HCM
The treatment of dermatomyositis is with corticosteroid (Prednisone). You can seek treatment from Mayo clinic or any other institution of your preference. Dermatomyositis is usually managed by internal medicine specialist/ rheumatologist.
