Hi Sir, My mother (65 years old) is suffering from leukocytoclastic vasculitis. It's recurring frequently and not being cured. She is taking prednisone 5 mg 6+0+0, colchicine 6 mg 1+0+1 but not cured yet. Can you suggest what should we do to treat her and which type of doctor should we consult. Is this disease life threatening?
