👉👉Ever noticed persistent, itchy/ non itchy patches of rippled pigmentation on your skin? It could be more than just dryness.

⭐️This, Macular amyloidosis is a subtype of primary cutaneous amyloidosis. In layperson’s terms, it’s when protein deposits called amyloids accumulate in the skin. These deposits’ cause remains elusive, but they lead to the characteristic pigmented patches.

A common skin condition it is often confused with is #LPP (lichen Planus Pigmentosus)

⭐️ This rippled pigmentation primarily a cosmetic concern. It manifests as small, flat, brown-gray patches, mainly on the upper back and arms. While the condition isn’t considered life-threatening, it can be distressing for those affected due to its appearance.

⭐️CONTRIBUTING FACTORS:

☘️Genetics: There seems to be a hereditary component, as it’s more common in certain families.

☘️Chronic skin friction: Constant rubbing or scratching may lead to the condition, especially in predisposed individuals.

☘️Other skin conditions: People with other skin disorders, like atopic dermatitis, might be at a higher risk.

⭐️While macular amyloidosis doesn’t spread like an infection, its extent and severity might increase, especially with frequent scratching or rubbing.

⭐️Various treatment options in form of oral and topical medications, chemical peels and laser treatment are available. Avoidance of triggers like minimizing skin friction and addressing any underlying skin conditions can help prevent worsening.

⭐️Consult a dermatologist before any treatment to ensure its appropriateness and safety. MOST IMPORTANTLY, we can improve it by 40-60 % ( sometimes 80%) but CANNOT CURE IT COMPLETELY.

⭐️Macular Amyloidosis, while primarily a cosmetic concern, can impact an individual’s self-esteem and comfort.
