There aren't really any definite treatments. Some people find that medications like Accutane help, while others get no benefit. Some people do homeopathic remedies. I've tried a lot of different things and nothing really takes care of it. I just learn to live with the nastiness and be thankful for the times it isn't so bad. I have no health insurance, so for me to see a dermatologist and use prescription medications would be really expensive.
