Abstract
Lichen amyloidosis is a subtype of primary cutaneous amyloidosis that presents as persistent, multiple grouped hyperkeratotic papules usually located on the shins, back, forearms, or thighs. The treatment of lichen amyloidosis has been considered to be difficult, and of the various methods available, recent studies have reported the efficacy of fractional CO2 lasers. Lichen amyloidosis may be accompanied by atopic dermatitis, in which the treatment options may be more limited. Herein, we report three cases of lichen amyloidosis accompanied by atopic dermatitis treated by fractional CO2 laser.
