“…Other therapies found beneficial in various case reports include fish oil, topical triple combination, alexandrite laser, and surgical excision 7,8 . Fish oil in a dosage of 10–20 g per day for 6 months effectively reduced hyperpigmentation and normalized skin texture in one woman with acquired generalized lipodystrophy and AN 7 . Long‐pulsed alexandrite laser treatment led to resolution of AN in one woman 8 …”
