Overweight Man with Neck Patches: Concerned?

I'm a middle-aged man with a sedentary lifestyle and overweight. I've recently noticed dark patches on the back of my neck. Should I be concerned about acanthosis nigricans?

He should consider loosing weight.. maintaining a healthy lifestyle and start exercising at least 5 times a week. Obesity is the main cause for different diseases. The dark patches on the back and neck could be because of diabetes. He should get his blood sugar levels checked. There are treatments for dark patches.
