Treatment of Schamberg's disease with pentoxifylline--therapeutic trial.
Twenty patients with Schamberg's disease were started on pentoxifylline (400 mg once daily) for a period of 8 weeks. Improvement was assessed at 2 weekly intervals by two observers independently and graded as mild (< 25%, moderate (25-50%) and marked (>50%). Marked improvement was observed in 10/20(50%) patients. We conclude that pentoxifylline should be considered as first line therapy in all patients with Schamberg's disease.
