Specific treatment is usually with oral niacin 100-400 mg/day, until resolution of symptoms and healing of all the skin lesions. In severe cases niacin can be initially giv- en by parenteral route. The recommended daily mainte- nance dose of niacin is 5-20 mg. We treated our patient with 300 mg/day niacin along with B complex vitamins and a high quality protein diet.
