Ref.: (LML) Facial Erythematous Patches
From: P. Narasimha Rao, Hyderaba, India
Dear Dr Pieter,
Recently we are seeing a good number of patients of leprosy with facial patches. In most of them even after completion of their MDT and treatment of T1R, the erythema at the site of patches is persisting. Some, who were given topical steroid creams, are developing telangiectasia in addition.
I request member's suggestions/ management options based on their experience to decrease the facial residual erythema in such patients which is becoming a significant social issue/problem.
I am enclosing photographs of two such patients with persistent facial erythematous patches, (the one with the nasal involvement was treated with topical steroid creams by a medical practitioner).
With best regards,
P. Narasimha Rao, MD, D.D, PhD
