What are the consequences of untreated amyloid skin lesions?

Amyloid skin lesions, or primary cutaneous amyloidosis, is a chronic disease in which amyloid is deposited in normal skin tissue without involving other organs. Primary cutaneous amyloidosis is currently of unknown etiology, after the onset of the disease, the early lesions for the pinpoint size brown spots, with the development of the disease, gradually increase in size to form hemispherical, conical or polygonal papules, the texture of the hard, normal skin color, reddish or brown, the surface of the skin is smooth and shiny, sometimes a little scaling is seen, hyperkeratosis or roughness, and other symptoms. There is no specific treatment for this disease, if the patient is not treated, it usually has little effect on the body, but it tends to aggravate the symptoms of skin lesions. Usually, for those with severe itching, oral antihistamine treatment, such as loratadine and cetirizine, can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. If you have primary skin amyloidosis, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to receive professional standardized diagnosis and treatment.
