Hello,
The treatment for both macular amyloidosis and lichen amyloidosis tends to be grouped together in the literature with no uniformly effective therapy for these patients.
Patient education is important in breaking the itch-scratch-itch cycle. In mild cases, topical corticosteroids have been beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
