Macular Amyloidosis

The document from 1975 discusses various dermatological conditions and treatments, including a preliminary study on the use of topical melanins for psoriasis, with a larger study underway. It describes a treatment for acne vulgaris and rosacea involving vitamins and tetracycline for pustular lesions. A case of macular amyloidosis associated with myelofibrosis in a 76-year-old woman is reported. Additionally, it suggests a link between rapid weight loss and increased hair loss due to a higher telogen ratio, based on two cases of women experiencing profuse hair loss after rapid weight loss programs. The document also notes an incidental finding where multiple flat warts disappeared after stopping tetracycline treatment for acne, and encourages further reporting of such cases. The document does not specify the number of participants in the studies or case reports.
