What is the treatment for macular amyloidosis?

Answer 1

Take Omega-3 fatty acids to

help diminish the

inflammation from the

irritated, itchy lesions

associated with amyloidosis.

Omega-3 fatty acids may also hinder the formation of new

lesions. Consume foods like

tuna, halibut, salmon, krill,

algae, purslane, and nut oils.

Eat these at least two times

weekly. Take 1,000-mg capsules of Omega-3 fatty

acids one to two times daily.

Do not consume more than 3

g of the supplement, because

it can increase your chances

of bleeding. Take two to three weeks before you note

the benefits of supplement

consumption. Use caution

when taking Omega-3

supplements, especially if you

bruise easily, have a bleeding disorder, and are using

anticoagulants; consuming

high doses can lead to

bleeding. Taking Omega-3

supplements may cause

bloating, belching, flatulence, and diarrhea. If you have

Diabetes, consult with a

physician before taking

Omega-3 fatty acids; it may

affect your glucose levels.

Omega-3 fatty acids may interfere or interact with

aspirin, warfarin, clopedigrel,

glipizide, glyburide,

glucophage, insulin,

cyclosporine, etretinate,

topical steroids, atorvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin,

nonsteroidal anti-

inflammatory drugs like

ibuprofen and naproxen. 3. Vitamin C Your body may require high

doses of vitamin C to help

your body break down

amyloidal deposits and

hinder the formation of

amyloidal lesions. Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants and it can

destroy free radicals that

threaten the integrity of cell

structures. Obtain vitamin C

from a variety of food sources

including blueberries, broccoli, Brussels sprouts,

cabbage, cantaloupe,

cauliflower, citrus juices,

cranberries, grapefruit, green

peppers, juices fortified with

vitamin C, kiwi, mangos, Oranges, papaya, pineapple,

potatoes, raspberries, red

and green peppers, spinach,

strawberries, tomatoes,

turnip greens, watermelon,

and winter squash. Men over 18 require 90 mg of vitamin C

daily, and females over 18

need 75 mg of vitamin C a

day. Breastfeeding females

need as much as 120 mg

daily for optimal health. Consume 2,000 mg of vitamin

C in supplement form to deal

with macular amyloidosis.

Drink water with vitamin C

supplements; this vitamin acts

as a diuretic and consuming water will prevent

dehydration. Do not use

vitamin C if you have

hemochromatosis; vitamin C

increases iron levels in your

blood. Taking more than 2 mg of vitamin C a day can

lead to gastrointestinal upset.

Vitamin C levels in your body

can be diminished by

smoking, and through the

use of aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-

inflammatory drugs. Vitamin

C consumption may also

interact or interfere with

acetaminophen, aluminium-

containing antacids, barbiturates, chemotherapy

drugs, nitrate medications,

oral contraceptives, protease

inhibitors, tetracycline, and

warfarin.

Answer 2

Treatment for macular amyloidosis typically involves symptomatic management to reduce itching and improve the appearance of the skin. This may include topical corticosteroids, emollients to moisturize the skin, and phototherapy. In some cases, laser therapy or dermabrasion may be used to improve the appearance of hyperpigmented lesions.
