I’m sorry, I’ve not heard of it before. I looked it up, sounds like fairly serious stuff!
* don’t act on following comment without consulting dermatologist *
I was told by my nhs derm that I could use 1% hydrocortisone on my face, which I did using a cotton bud to get it only on affected skin. I was very surprised because of all the skin thinning warnings but basically she said not to try any other steroid creams but 1% would be fine. Although steroid creams no longer really work on the rest of me, this did work for me.
But as I say, please don’t act on this without asking the derm, especially as he’s a minor. I hope he gets some relief soon.
