I'm dealing with this macular amyloidosis and it's really getting on my nerves. I've got these pigmentation issues popping up on my upper back, legs, and hands, and now it's spreading to my neck too. The itching is just unbearable in these areas. Im really looking for some guidance on what kind of treatment I should go for. Is there any real cure for this?

Macular amyloidosis is a chronic skin condition that can be challenging to treat. To help manage the pigmentation and itching, I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream such as Clobetasol propionate 0.05%. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Loratadine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. It is important to keep the skin well moisturized, so I suggest using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil. Avoid scratching the affected areas to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI've got dark and oily skin with some acne marks, and I'm really hoping to lighten my skin tone. I've been hearing about creams with kojic acid that might help reduce melanin, but I'm not sure if they're right for me. Can using kojic acid actually help with my complexion? Would it be safe for my oily skin, and will it do anything for my acne scars?
Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .

I'm really struggling with tinea corporis for the past year. I've tried lots of different medicines, and sometimes they help for a little while, but then the problem just comes right back. I'm getting frustrated and worried. Do you have any advice on what I can do to finally get rid of this for good?
To address this, I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% and Betamethasone 0.05%. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected area twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Remember to maintain good hygiene practices and avoid sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.

I've noticed this yellow patch on my right breast really close to my nipple. It's not causing any pain, and there aren't any lumps or discharge, just this yellow spot. It's been two days, and it's still there, which has me feeling anxious. I'm just wondering, could this be something serious like cancer or maybe just a bruise?
That could be normal bruise, no need to worry,to be on safeside, visit surgeon for evaluation.
