Treatment

Medical Care

Treatment is generally not required because lesions spontaneously resolve. [16]  Ramos Pinheiro et. al. reported the use of calneurin inhibitor pimecrolimus 0.1% cream with resolution. [8] Treatment of any initiating inflammatory process, with its associated maceration and secondary infection, is beneficial.
