Core Tip

Core Tip: We explored a combination therapy for primary cutaneous amyloidosis, which is fast and noninvasive with low recurrence. The effects of topical drugs could be more pronounced after fire needle intervention. Topical halometasone cream plus fire needle pre-treatment could shorten the course of treatment and reduce recurrence.
