Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, there is permanent cure for planter ectopic dermatitis.
Oral steroids (methylprednisolone) in 1mg/kg dose is mainstay of treatment.
Local application of steroid cream (mometasone) is very effective for itching.
Oral levocetrizine 5mg twice daily is also beneficial.
Since all these are prescribed medications, you should definitely consult dermatologist for these.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
