Is cosmetic surgery available for acanthosis nigricans?

Yes: Yes. Acanthosis nigricans can be caused by being overweight, hormonal imbalances, irritation and others. First we try to control the causes as much as possible, but the skin can be lightened non-surgically or even excised if necessary. See a skilled plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Be well, dr.

Yes: Acanthosis nigircans can be effectively treated with laser therapy. The dermatology dept at the university of pittsburgh treats this routinely and would be a good resource.
