I'm dealing with macular amyloidosis, which has caused the skin on my legs to become pigmented. I'm really looking for any treatment options to help with this issue. I've attached a picture for more clarity. Could you advise on any potential solutions?

Treatment options for this condition may include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream to help reduce inflammation and lighten the pigmented areas. Another option could be topical retinoids like Tretinoin cream to promote skin cell turnover and improve skin texture. It is important to use these medications as directed by your healthcare provider and to follow up regularly for monitoring.

I've been taking doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules for acne, 100 mg daily for a month now. But every time I take them, I get really dizzy and feel super weak. The nausea gets pretty bad, and I often have to lie down right away. Is this the right dosage for me? It doesnt seem normal to feel like this. What should I do?
Discuss these side effects with your prescribing doctor. In the meantime, you can try taking doxycycline with food to see if it helps reduce nausea. If the symptoms persist, your doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication.
