hello,
as per the details u have given,
for macular amyloidosis .. there are two treatment modalities
1. avoid exposure to UV-rays mainly sunlight if u want to go outside use sun screen lotion
2. using combinations of mild steroid + keratolytic mainly salicylic acid and lactic acid preperations.
3. avoid excessive scratching of lesions- if u have itching use anti-histamines
hope this will help
