This type of amyloidosis has been divided into the following types:: 520 
Macular amyloidosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by itchy, brown, rippled macules usually located on the interscapular region of the back.: 521  Combined cases of lichen and macular amyloidosis are termed biphasic amyloidosis, and provide support to the theory that these two variants of amyloidosis exist on the same disease spectrum.
Lichen amyloidosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by the appearance of occasionally itchy lichenoid papules, typically appearing bilaterally on the shins.: 521 
		
		
Nodular amyloidosis is a rare cutaneous condition characterized by nodules that involve the acral areas.: 521
