Abstract
- Cutaneous amyloidosis can be a part of a systemic disease or can result from a localized process limited to the skin. It usually presents as pruritic hyperpigmented macules, papules or nodules, which are notoriously resistant to treatment. We performed a hospital-based pilot case series to assess the efficacy and safety of sequential salicylic acid (SA) and glycolic acid (GA) chemical peels. Patients underwent sequential chemical peel therapy with SA 20% and GA 35% used alternately each week for a total of 6 weeks. At subsequent follow-up visits, good clinical outcome and long-term maintenance was observed. This study highlights the promising role of chemical peels in this difficult and distressing disorder.<br /> (© 2021 British Association of Dermatologists.)
