Yes It's prediabetes: Your OB is astute. You can get rid of the ring (we call it acanthosis nigricans) by doing three simple things. Drink 8 glasses of water a day, eat 8 fruits and vegetables a day, and walk 10,000 steps a day. (4 miles) Try tracking with a physician recommended mobile tracker with built in pedometer.

Acanthosis Nigricans: is a common benign disorder that presents with velvety, hyperpigmented plaques on the skin. A wide variety of endocrine, metabolic, genetic and malignant disorders can contribute to the development of A.N. Insulin resistance plays a key role in development of AN including Obesity DM, PCOS. Treat the underlying disorder. A Dermatologist may be able to improve the appearance.
