Acanthosis nigricans: Acanthosis nigricans is a condition related to diabetes but also to a high carbohydrate diet. Is this the only place you have these marks? Diabetes is detected with a blood test. You should go see your primary care doc for a blood draw.

Probably not: Would need to see it. Could be a type of eczema, shoe irritation, etc.

Lines: May represent anemia or vitamin levels to low. Nutrition guidance may help too.
