Can Amyloidosis Lichen be cure ?
This is the most common form of primary localised cutaneous amyloidosis. It presents as an intensely itchy rash on the shins, thighs, feet, and forearms. Lesions consist of multiple raised spots (papules) that are scaly and red/brown in colour. Papules may coalesce into thickened plaques. It appears to be more common in people of Chinese descent and in males. It most often occurs between 50-60 years of age. It may be a variant of lichen simplex. Primary cutaneous amyloidosis is classified into three types: macular, lichen (papular), and nodular. Biphasic amyloidosis is a rare entity characterized by the presence of concurrent lesions of macular and lichen amyloidosis. The macular lesions tend to be distributed on the inter-scapular area and thighs while the papular lesions are most commonly present on the arms and lower legs. The occasional transformation of macular amyloidosis into lichen amyloidosis has been observed. The pathogenesis of cutaneous amyloidosis is poorly understood. Th
