Question

Is there any way to treat or manage macular amyloidosis? I've seen quite a few dermatologists, but they all told me there's no cure, and the medications they gave me didn't seem to help. Could you provide any insight or advice on this?

Unfortunately, there is currently no definitive cure for macular amyloidosis. However, topical treatments such as Tacrolimus ointment can help improve the appearance of the affected skin. You can apply Tacrolimus ointment twice daily to the affected areas as prescribed by your dermatologist. Additionally, phototherapy with Narrowband UVB light may also be beneficial in some cases. It is important to follow your dermatologist's recommendations for the best management of macular amyloidosis.

Question

I'm curious about whether salt water can actually affect my skin color or hair. I've heard that salt in water might turn your skin black or cause grey hair. Since most underground water seems to have salt, should I be worried about any changes in my skin pigment or hair color? Is it true that salt water isn't good for the skin? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give!

I've noticed that there's something like dandruff on my penis, kind of like peeling skin. It's been happening for about a month now. Should I be worried about this or is there something specific that might be causing it? How can I get rid of it?
