Talk to Dermatologist on Acanthosis Nigricans
Asking for Self, Female, 22 years old, Karachi
I am female and I have acanthosis nigricans which has caused the darkening of my neck, hand, elbows, knees, and groin area. I have a few questions: Is there any medical treatment to reverse this condition? Do the dark patches around these areas fade or disappear naturally, and are there any aesthetic procedures to lighten these marks? If so, could you please provide the names of such procedures?

Hi there. Well AN disease is usually a result of some other underlying pathology eg., hormonal disturbances associated with Poly Cystic Ovaries or Obesity or Insulin Resistance or Lupus. In more severe situations malignancy has to be ruled out. However with the removal of the cause, AN self regresses and darkening lessens. Asthetic treatment options can be offered only after Clinical Examination. Hope that answers your query.Thanks

Medical Treatments for AN are effective in lightening these dark areas. You may be advised to get them in sessions and after a safe interval in between so that to allow proper healing of your skin as to not to disrupt your daily routine as well. These can be chemical peeling or dermabrasion.
Although these marks form with increasing weight but they don't fade away if you just rely on loosing weight or dieting. So that is why procedures are advised.
