Hi
I understand your concern.
The cause of Schamberg's disease is yet unknown. This has been shown to be associated with an underlying viral infection or some hypersensitivity reaction as in the case of allergies. The rash is due to leaking of blood from tiny blood vessels on the surface of the skin. Topical corticosteroids may be the mainstay of therapy if the rash brings about some discomfort or itchiness. Vitamin C has also been used.
Recently, there are researches looking into UV therapy and pentoxifylline as effective therapeutic options for Schamberg's disease. You may ask your doctor about this.
Schamberg's disease is not contagious.
I would like to correct the name.It is called as Schamberg's Disease.Can anybody through more light on this?Is it contagious?Is there any treatment to prevent the spreading?
