Brief Answer:
Claims not backed by evidence

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and have checked the attached report. I understand your concerns. It is claimed that homeopathic treatment of lichen amyloidosis can control the spread although the same has not been backed by evidence. It is not certain whether homeopathich medicines can treat it or treat it completely.

Using modern medicine lichen amyloidosis can be treated with topical dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and phototherapy (UVB) or PUVA).

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
