Recently, as per advise of doctor i got biopsy of affected skin; which s result is- Macular amyloidosis . My doctor advised me to under go some sessions of Glycolic Peeling. Pl suggest: what to do? is it curable? will glycolic peeling be helpful?
Hi. Thanks for the query. Macular amyloidosis can be reduced by the following steps:1) Avoid Friction: you should avoid any rubbing or scrubbing of the affected areas. Skin should be very mildly patted Chat Doctor. 2) Sunscreen: Use broad spectrum sunscreens even at home and repeat after 4-5 hours.3) Chemical peels: Glycol peels (50-70%) or Tricolor acetic acid peels (15-20 %) for multiple sessions every 2-3 weeks. The above when combined, should lighten the pigmentation to some extent. It might not go away completely although. Macular amyloidosis is a deeper fort of pigmentation, and it takes several months to achieve a good improvement. Hope this helps.take care!
