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.

I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection on my back, stomach, and ear. I've been taking Itraconazole 200 mg for three months and it seemed to clear up, but now, about ten days after stopping the medication, the itching is back, especially on my back and around my ear. Could you suggest a treatment plan or medication to help me get rid of this for good?
