Can primary cutaneous amyloidosis be cured?
Disease description:
I have had many red spots appearing on my skin陆续 (successively) over the course of this month. After visiting a local hospital for examination, the doctor indicated that it might be a primary skin lesion. After undergoing treatment for some time, I noticed that the results were not ideal. I would like to ask, is primary cutaneous amyloidosis curable?

Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Primary cutaneous amyloidosis is generally not completely curable in most cases, but symptoms can be relieved through treatment. This condition is an immune-mediated metabolic disorder of the skin, in which amyloid protein deposits in the dermis, causing skin itching and lichenoid lesions. Treatment methods include pharmacological and physical therapies, such as the use of antihistamines, topical potent corticosteroids, laser therapy, and liquid nitrogen cryotherapy. Although it is difficult to completely eliminate the underlying factors and causes, comprehensive treatment can effectively control the disease and improve patients' quality of life. Please note that specific treatment plans should be discussed with a qualified physician.
