Because the host's immune system tends to resolve infection after 3–6 months, treatment of the lesions generally focuses on limiting tissue damage and necrosis. A number of different treatments have yielded results of varying effectiveness in the treatment of L.<unk>  caused cutaneous leishmaniasis. * Fluconazole given in 200 mg doses over the course of 6 weeks resulted in 90% cure rate versus 60% in those given a placebo. * Topical application of 15% paromomycin and 12% methylbenzethonium has been used successfully to treat patients in Israel. * Intralesional injections of 0.5–2.0mL of 100 mg/ML antimony has also been shown to be effective when injected around the sides of lesions. When 10 such injections were given to patients in Egypt, 85% were cured within 3 months.
