Treatment
Medical Care
No medical intervention is required because the lesion is benign and most often asymptomatic. [19] However, Abe et al report successful treatment with cyclosporin, [20] and Sigal and Mock reported treatment with topical and systemic antihistamines. [21] Topical retinoids and topical corticosteroids are occasionally of benefit. In psoriatic patients, the lesions may resolve during systemic therapy for the psoriasis.
