Medication can be used to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.
Corticosteroids that can be prescribed include clobetasol (increases the production of proteins that lowers inflammation), topical betamethasone (lowers inflammation by decreasing the permeability of the capillaries and migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes) hydrocortisone valerate (suitable for application to external mucous membranes and skin to lower inflammation), desonide (increases the production of enzymes that decreases inflammation), and fluticasone (very effective anti-inflammation and vasoconstriction).
