What Is Calcinosis Cutis?
10. Treatment
Treatment of calcinosis cutis tends to involve treating the patient’s symptoms and addressing the underlying cause where possible. The methods of treatment will vary according to what the underlying cause is. Some drugs have been used, with mixed success, and these include tablet form and intravenous medication.
In some cases, it may be recommended that the lumps are removed surgically. This tends to be the case if they are making it difficult for the patient to go about their day to day lives. They might also become infected frequently which might also make surgery necessary. The lumps will sometimes return some time after surgery.
