Kindly help me regarding cutaneous macular amyloidosis treatmnt .. its spreading...age 25 yrs ..previous history of acne for many years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin lesions: The treatment is focused on relieving itch. Sedating antihistamines can be moderately effective. Topical and intralesional steroids may provide some relief if used with other treatments. Other treatments tried include topical dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) and phototherapy (uvb) or puva). Surgical treatment to remove amyloid deposits includes laser vaporization, dermabrasion, and excision.
