Hi ,
Thanks for writing in.
You are suffering from hirsutism and macular amyloidosis .
Hair removal laser will also help in treating amyloidosis.
My advise to you would be to go for IPL laser over the affected area.
It will help in both the conditions.
I encourage you to visit your dermatologist for advise and treatment.
Hope this helps.
