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.

View allI'm from Delhi and I've been dealing with hives for a while now. I'm currently taking Allegra for them, but I'm curious about homeopathy treatments for critical hives. Do you think it's worth exploring homeopathic options, or should I just stick with what I'm doing?
-For treating critical hives with homeopathy, it's important to consult a homeopathic doctor who can tailor remedies to your specific symptoms. While Allegra helps manage hives, a personalized homeopathic approach may address the root cause more effective

How long does it usually take for vitiligo to spread? I've had these spots on my neck, leg, and hand for about four years now, and they haven't really changed in size. Should I be worried about them getting bigger or appearing in new places?
The spread of vitiligo varies from person to person. In some cases, the patches may remain stable in size and number for years, while in other cases, they may spread rapidly. Since you have had the spots for 4 years with the same size, it is possible that the condition may remain stable for you. To help prevent further spread of vitiligo, you can consider using topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas. Apply a thin layer of the cream twice daily for a few months to see improvement. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB light can also be beneficial in managing vitiligo. Remember to protect your skin from sun exposure as it can worsen the condition. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on the affected areas when going outside.
