Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Do you have tried topical steroid ????
Usually topical steroid application done for 1.5 to 2 month.If no response then other modality tried....

How many searing you have taken of psoralen? With oral psoralen it might take 12 to 15 seating for initial response ...

One another modality is min skin grafting spot technique.In which skin from healthy area grafted in resistant macule.

According to few study yes if resistant macules then oral psoralens plus UVA irritation is another treatment modality....

Use sunscreen lotion with SPF more then 30...It will prevent further tanning..

Take care.....
