PLEVA in adults, cure for
by arvinpatel, Mar 19, 2008 12:18PM
My daughter NP age 35 has what appears to be PLEVA for last two and a half months. She was prescibed anti-biotic but did not work. She has started light therapy last week but waiting for the results and confirmation that it does not affect her other disease.
She is covered all over and few spots on tyhe face and several on neck also. Since this is similar to Laura's case of year 2000. Hope she recovered. Any news?
She has seen couple Dermatologists in LA arebut no one has yet suggested any treatment that relly works. We have a wedding coming up in Fall but so far she has no hope for improvements. I am worried if she would improve and recover fully?
Are there any new treatments - western medicine, easter medicine, natural cures anything that has worked?
I hope you answer soon to my Email address.

I appreciate your frustration, but this condition is not one that responds easily to any specific treatment. It sounds as though her dermatologists are recommending the appropriate treatments. PLEVA does get better over time. I have no other suggestions for you at this point.
Best.
