Hello,
I was diagnosed with GGA recently, started treatment with Mometasone Furoate Cream. Did not help much. My dermatologist prescribed off label use of Pentoxifylline. Started in taking 2/26. What is pentoxifylline used for in dermatology?
Results: Pentoxifylline has been used to treat various dermatological conditions including peripheral vascular disease, vasculitis and vasculopathies, chilblains, pigmented purpuric dermatosis, granuloma annulare, necrobiosis, keloids, lichen sclerosis et atrophicus, scars, radiation-induced fibrosis, vitiligo, ...
I’m hoping that with continued use I will see some improvements. I’ve had a lot of stress in my life and believe that doesn’t help.
Best of luck with your GA,
Linda

Hi!
My dermatologist did offer the pentoxifylline as an option, but with my sensitivity to medications I am hesitant. I hope this works for you! You have been taking it for roughly a month, so have you seen any improvement or side effects? Just wish I could find out if anyone has tried the excimer laser.
I am getting desperate!
