Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.
Brief answer:There is no permanent cure,recurrences are likely and treatment response varies from individual to individual.
Detailed answer:
But longer remission period be enhanced using combination therapies which are more effective than monotherapy.If i am your family physician,would advise to try combined treatment regimen with topical corticosteroid and topical calcipotriene cream or tazoratene gel to enhance faster and prolonged remission under dermatologist's supervision.I would advise you to discuss this with your dermatologist for above prescription if its appropriate for you.Hope this information helps you.If any questions,happy to answer you.
