Description

In terms of treatment, there are several options, such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and biological agents, which are used based on the activity or location of the illness, and depending on the complications that may arise.

Most importantly, once the treatment with the specialist has been agreed upon, it should not be stopped, as this would entail relapses and less control over the illness.
