I've got these small holes and some redness on my skin because of pimples. They aren't really noticeable unless you're pretty close, like 5 feet away or less. I'm currently using a cream with hq 2 vv. Do you think I should reach out to a doctor for this, or will it just get better on its own over time? Can you take a look at my skin in the pictures and maybe suggest something?

View allWhat happens if macular amyloidosis is left untreated? Are there any long-term complications I should be worried about? Could you give me some advice on this?
Macular amyloidosis is a rare skin condition characterized by the deposition of amyloid proteins in the skin, leading to hyperpigmentation and skin thickening. If left untreated, macular amyloidosis can lead to several long-term complications: Skin Complications 1. Persistent Hyperpigmentation: The condition can lead to permanent darkening of the skin, which can be cosmetically distressing. 2. Skin Thickening: Amyloid deposits can cause the skin to become thicker and more rigid, leading to reduced skin elasticity. 3. Skin Fragility: The skin may become more prone to tearing and bruising due to the amyloid deposits. Systemic Complications 1. Secondary Infections: Untreated macular amyloidosis can increase the risk of secondary bacterial or fungal infections. 2. Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Rarely, macular amyloidosis can increase the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. 3. Systemic Amyloidosis: In rare cases, macular amyloidosis can be associated with systemic amyloidosis, a condition where amyloid deposits accumulate in various organs, such as the kidneys, heart, or liver. Quality of Life Complications 1. Emotional Distress: Macular amyloidosis can cause significant emotional distress due to its cosmetic impact. 2. Social Withdrawal: The condition can lead to social withdrawal and reduced self-esteem. 3. Impact on Daily Life: Macular amyloidosis can affect daily life, making everyday activities, such as bathing or dressing, challenging. Treatment Options While there is no cure for macular amyloidosis, various treatment options can help manage the condition and prevent long-term complications. These include: 1. Topical Corticosteroids: To reduce inflammation and amyloid deposits. 2. Topical Retinoids: To promote skin cell turnover and reduce amyloid deposits. 3. Laser Therapy: To reduce hyperpigmentation and promote skin rejuvenation. 4. Surgical Excision: In rare cases, surgical excision of affected skin areas may be necessary.

I've been seeing these black lines on my fingernail for the past few weeks and it seems like they're getting thicker and wider. I'm not sure if this is something to be worried about with my health or if it's just nothing. Should I be concerned?
