Yours appears to be a case of steroid dependant enl. Thalidomide does help in such case but action is slow to start. Moreover increasing clofazamine and adding another medicine would be helpful but that is totally under Dermatologist's discretion.

Please take adequate rest and balanced nutrition to keep your immunity strong.
