Acanthosis Nigricans
I from my teen age is suffering from dark pigmented inner thighs, underarms and neck.Though I am medium to fair skin tone, I face this issue from my teen age, then I was diagnosed with PCOD from age 17... I visited a Dermatologist , he prescribed me melalite forte once at night everyday, I have not started using it... It is to be noted that for PCod, my gynaecologist has stopped my hormonal pills 1.5 years ago, because I am controlling my weight and having periods much better then previous years. I am only taking Aldactone for 2 months due to sudden hairfall.And otherwise, I dont take any other medicines. I am focussing on weight loss, but as I am a Student and am PCOd patient it is taking time to lose weight I was 80 kg and now I am 71 kg...
My height is 5'3". Please tell me that whether only melalite forte can help me out with this problem , or should I need to do anything else? And will the pigmentation again occur once I stop the medicine? I am also attaching a pic of my underarm .
