The best therapy I have found for most patients has been light therapy combined with Elidel cream. Light therapy can be a tanning booth or spending most of your day in the sun. Elidel is a prescription, non-steroidal cream. Good health.

Get you Mum some evening primrose oil and make sure she takes it everyday for at least six months, see if their is any improvement. I am using the Dovobet and Dovonex creams and find they are keeping it under control along with the evening primrose oil.
