Differential diagnosis of colloid milium Primary cutaneous amyloidosis: Differentiation may be difficult and made only by special stains. In contrast to amyloidosis, colloid milium is negative for laminin and type IV collagen. [dermnetnz.org]

[…] more extensive over the years, most cases reach their maximum development within 3 years and then remain unchanged.[12] The histological and clinical findings together are unmistakable, although the former alone may be difficult to differentiate from amyloidosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

At 6-month follow-up, the dermatitis was asymptomatic and showed no signs of change; however, the patient is now willing to try a new approach. [elsevier.es]

CASE REPORT A 38-year-old driver man from Ahvaz, Fitzpatrick skin type III, in otherwise good health was referred to our hospital for asymptomatic papules on dorsal of the hands of 3-year duration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Onset was marked by pain in the joints of both hands, particularly in the morning, with no stiffness or other symptoms. The patient was referred to the Rheumatology department, and later to our service for diagnosis. [elsevier.es]

His medical history was negative for photosensitizing medications and disorders. Familial history was negative. A biopsy was taken from one of these lesions, and diagnosis of colloid milium was confirmed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gomes et al.10 report two cases in which they used photodynamic therapy with methyl-aminolevulinate cream as photosensitizer prior to curettage, with no recurrence at the 1-year follow-up visit. [elsevier.es]

Differential diagnosis is with calcinosis cutis, millia cysts, multiple syringoma and amyloidosis.8 There is no consensus on the treatment of choice, and various strategies have been used, including dermabrasion, curettage, cryotherapy, erbium laser resurfacing [elsevier.es]

At 6-month follow-up, the dermatitis was asymptomatic and showed no signs of change; however, the patient is now willing to try a new approach. [elsevier.es]
