A member asked:
Can losing weight helps to fade acanthosis nigricans naturally? please give some suggestions to practice to fade this issue from neck and armpits?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In overweight-associated disease, weight reduction seems to reduce the findings of AN. Keep in mind oral contraceptives are associated with AN as well. Topical or oral retinoids may benefit some patients.
