Topical Corticosteroids (Steroids, Cortisone):
- Cortisone creams (topical corticosteroids), lotions and gels are moderately effective
- They are used twice daily on the affected areas until the spots disappear or turn brown
- At that point the steroids should be stopped
- Topical corticosteroids must be used for at least a month to see if they are going to be effective
- The most common side effect would include, but not be limited to: thinning of the skin in the area to which they are being applied
- This may appear as stretch marks, dimpling of the skin or bruising
Intralesional Steroids (Cortisone Injections):
- Cortisone injections work much better than the creams, gels and lotions
- The cortisone is injected directly into the affected areas
- A lesion 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter would require about 8 injections
- The injections are repeated at monthly intervals
- The main side effect from the injections includes, but is not limited to: thinning of the skin
- This may appear as stretch marks, dimpling of the skin or bruising
- Skin thinning will usually resolve spontaneously once treatment is stopped
Pills:
- In severe cases pills may be used
- Please discuss your treatment options with your doctor
