I’d never heard of it. And, after googling it, I am not sure I have any idea what it is.

Moderate to severe cases in an adult can be successfully improved with oral antibiotics of the tetracycline family. A typical course of treatment lasts about two months, and improvement is gradual.

Less severe cases often improve with the use of topical pimecrolimus. Topical metronidazole or erythromycin have also been shown to be effective.

Avoid steroids and topical irritants.

Good luck.
