Dark Skin on Neck

2016-09-04 18:37:09
The skin around my neck is very dark. I consulted a doctor and he told me it's acanthosis nigrician. He gave me some medicine and tube but it didn't work much. Also my sugar level and thyroid conditions are normal. However I am a bit overweight these days. (5'11" height and 85kgs). Could you tell me the possible reason for this and also how to get rid of the issue?

Acanthosis is associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Do get serum insulin levels tested too
