NECROBIOSIS LIPOIDICA
----------------------------------------------



I've had a couple of cases of BAD ulcerating NLD respond well to
cyclosporine, with long-term drug-free remissions.

Did both the ulcerations and the NLD lesions go away?

I just saw on follow-up a 25 yr old female patient of mine whose NLD on her
lower leg has completely resolved after 1 1/2 years use of topical Premarin
cream and Westcort (equal parts) nightly for a couple months and then every
other night.

Premarin for NLD is a new one for me. Please expand on its use here....and
do you have other interesting dermatologic applications for it as well?
