Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
Cutaneous amyloidosis are of different types- maular amyloidosis, lichenoid amyloidosis etc. and not all of them are incurable.
Pigmentation and roughness part can be treated with a great deal of improvement but the process is time consuming and one needs to be patient.
These conditions increase with rubbing, procedures like microdermabrasion etc.
There are reviews written by our users about doctors in our listing, those can guide you for a better doctor. You can search for a doctor in your area at this link WWW.WWWW.WW
I am myself based at Delhi.
