How to git rid of acanthosis and get normal skin again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes over time: Try losing weight, if the acanthosis nigricans is caused by obesity, dropping the excess pounds can help regulate Insulin levels, and thereby cause the dark skin around the neck to fade. Cutting back on your carbs intake while increasing physical exercise can often help you lose weight. If the acanthosis nigricans is caused by diabetes, reducing your carbs, no sugar, no soda.Control bloodsugar.
