Acanthosis Nigricans



Acanthosis Nigricans - Right Axilla



Acanthosis Nigricans - This condition (in great need of a renaming) appears most commonly in skin of color and usually effects flexural areas like the armpits, groin, and neck. Affected areas are described in velvety in appearance. There is some link to families with a history of diabetes. Very benign and very refractory to treatment, although exfoliants are sometimes helpful to lighten the skin in the area.
