🤎Lichen Amyloidosis presents as pruritic papules and plaques on the shin or other extensor surfaces of the extremities, often with a rippled pattern.

🤎Initially lesions are usually unilateral and later develop bilaterally with symmetrical distribution.

🤎The exact cause is not yet fully understood. Genetic predisposition, Epstein-Barr virus and environmental factors have all been proposed.

🤎A common triggering factor is chronic rubbing and friction.

🤎Many topical & oral medications are available; giving 40-60% results in patients with early disease

🤎Fractional ablative lasers have shown promising results by decreasing the production of amyloid by affecting the process of keratinization. Also laser penetrates up to upper dermis where the deposits are found. Hence the deposits can get eliminated transepidermally through the channels created by the laser. Although multiple sessions are required to produce optimal results.

We are now open in the morning 10 am to 1.30 pm & Evening 5.00 to 7.30 pm
