Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows. 1. Behcet syndrome is a disease involving inflammation of blood vessels. 2. It is mainly due to immune system over-reaction. 3. There is no complete cure, as it is an auto-immune disease. During periods of flaring up - location specific treatment like skin creams, mouth rinses and eye drops will be necessary. 4. Colchicine can be tried for skin rashes (if not controlled with skin creams) and also in arthritis. 5. In severe behcets, immune modifiers like corticosteroids, azathiprine, cyclophosphamide, or interferon can also be tried. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
