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.

Epidermal Inclusion Cyst (EIC)

Epidermal Inclusion Cyst (EIC) - These benign cysts can be found anywhere on the body where there are hair follicles. If the base of a hair follicle weakens, it can become dilated. Dead skin, instead of making a clean eggress to the surface, moves retrograde and enlarges the cyst. Sometimes a cheesy white material that smells musty can exude from a central pore overlying the cyst. They are benign, but can sometimes become infected. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Confluent and Reticulated Papillomatosis (CARP)



CARP - upper back

 Confluent and Reticulated Papillomatosis (CARP) - Ok, last obscure one for a while. CARP is a condition of unknown cause. It's more common in skin of color and is characterized by a thickening of the epidermis. Treatments range from creams that exfoliate to minocycline. Can be cosmetically unsettling but is always benign.
