Hello,

I can understand your condition. Its a rare disease and spreads with itching. There are many treatment options available which includes intra-lesion steroids injections, topical steroid creams and menthol creams to prevent itching. It would be of great help to me if you have mentioned the names of drugs you have taken before.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
