Suggest Remedy For Lichen Amyloidosis

i have lichen amyloidosis in my arms and legs. I was prescribed with topical medcines, lotion and soap but it did not seem to be cured. Now I am using daily rubbing my arms with lemon juice , after 10 min, i mixed lemon juice and baking soda. after 30 min, i rub with my home made coconut oil an hour after I take a bath. I do not use anymore body lotion. it seems to fade. and no more ichyness. Before going to bed, I wet a cotton balls with apple cider vinegar and no more itchiness again. Am I in the right path?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lichen amyloidosis is aggravated by rubbing. Please avoid friction over the skin. Gently apply topical lotion prescribed by your Dermatologist. And please be patient, treatment response is poor and gradual for Lichen amyloidosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
