There is no cure for Schamberg's disease; however, the itching can be controlled by a cortisone cream, and Colchicine treatment has been successfully used to prevent recurrence of the symptoms. This condition is not life-threatening or a major health concern. The only problem that patients will encounter is the itching and discoloration of the skin. It is recommended that patients take a vitamin C supplement to promote collagen production, which will help make the skin look and feel healthier. To prevent further irritation of the lesions, patients should avoid food with artificial colors and preservatives. Some people can be allergic to preservatives, which can cause the body to initiate an allergic reaction by further irritating those lesions. Several research studies have indicated that Schamberg's disease can be controlled and the number of lesions can be reduced with use a drug called aminaphtone. This drug helps improve capillary fragility and it prevents and controls the purpuric lesions.

A patient with Schamberg's disease can live a normal and healthy life. Since there is no proven cure for this condition, the patient will have to endure the lesions on his or her skin. With appropriate treatments, the condition may get better. Although the skin lesions are not life-threatening, it may cause a cosmetic concern for some individuals. Skin lesions may cause psychological discomfort, where patients may require reassurance to help with stress and anxiety. There are a few rare cases of T-cell lymphoma that has developed from Schamberg's disease.This is not a cause for concern, since the risk factors associated with Schamberg's disease are relatively low.

"Narrowband UVB therapy as an effective treatment for Schamberg's disease."

This research article proposed that narrowband UVB therapy can be considered as a treatment for pigmented purpura. A study was done on a 33 year old man who had a 3 month history of widespread pigmented purpura. Oral prescription of prednisolone and topical ointment helped controlled the purpuric eruptions, but when the medication was stopped, the rash recurred. Researchers placed the patient on a UV therapy for 5 months. The patient showed signs of improvement, where new purpuric eruptions stopped and some of the pigmented purpura disappeared. However, when the dose of the UV therapy was decreased, the patient showed signs of recurrence. Researchers want to monitor the patient for two years to see if the purpuric eruptions will stop and they believe that this patient will have promising results.

"Successful treatment of generalized childhood Schamberg's disease with narrowband ultraviolet B therapy."

This research article demonstrated two cases where two children had purpuric rashes. The children were placed on UVB therapy and were monitored weekly for purpuric eruptions. One of the child received 10 treatments of UVB therapy, while the other child received 20 treatments. The child that received the 20 treatments did not show signs of purpuric eruptions and the skin lesions disappeared. However, the child that received the 10 treatments, showed signs of recurrence. Most of the rash disappeared, but some of it reappeared on the body. Researchers believe that the narrowband UVB therapy used on children has proven to remove and control the skin lesions.

Capillaritis is where the capillaries, usually of the legs or lungs, are inflamed.

It may occur in the lungs as pulmonary capillaritis, or in the skin as pigmented purpuric dermatosis.

On the legs it starts out as little brownish dots and can cause aching. Mild capillaritis clears up within 3–4 months.
