Your doctor may refer you to a Dermatologist to confirm your diagnosis. They may decide to start treatment, or wait until you have your referral. Based on the severity of your symptoms, treatments will differ. CANAAF may be able to help you with your questions, but ultimately you need to follow professional advice. Some treatments include steroidal injections, creams, oral medications, and other types of topical solutions.
