They were treated with estrogens (estriol with vitamin A--ointment) and vitamin A rich diet. Anti-inflammatory treatment was employed if necessary. After long-term treatment at 8 girls the total recovery was obtained, at 2, clinical symptoms decreased. Other girls are under clinical observation as before.
