Dear Patient,

Inflammatory myopathy means that such lesions will appear on and off and the muscles breakdown and weakness will occur. You should take him to a rheumatologist who can guide you further.
He will need something to suppress the inflammation from within rather than externally alone.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Rheumatologist in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
