Doctors do not recommend treatment if skin lesions are not itchy or painful because there have been only limited studies into GA treatments. Trial and error is necessary to find an appropriate and effective treatment for individual cases. Options include topical steroid creams, cryotherapy to freeze the lesions, and laser therapy. Injected steroids near affected areas and short-term oral medications can also provide relief.
