Dr in diabetes when the skin becomes dark at certain places .. can it be white again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dark skin: It is hard to answer that question without knowing where the dark skin is. It is most common at the back of the neck and sometimes also the front. Where is your dark skin? How long have you had diabetes? Are you controlling your diabetes properly? Some more information from you would be appreciated.
