Hello Prasenjit, is the diagnosis of PLEVA confirmed by histopathology? If so, treatment options include steroids, phototherapy, methotrexate, acitretin and dapsone among others. Of course, steroids can not be continued for a long time as it has serious adverse effects on long term use. Other drugs should be tried under regular supervision of a dermatologist. PLEVA may run its course over few years. Hope it helps
