My mom's skin is darkened in the hands and neck. There is no itching but it is not getting cured. That makes her skin look dark.. Please suggest some natural remedy
This description sounds like acanthosis nigricans. This is a condition where your skin folds like underarms, inner thighs or groin, neck and face becomes dark. It is either genetic or due to sedantry lifestyle and overweight. This can be treated. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper diagnosis, treatment advice and prescription.
