Dark Pigmentation in Neck || Reasons and Home Management || Homeo Treatment 

Acanthosis nigricans
Acanthosis nigricans is a skin disorder in which there is darker, thick, velvety skin in body folds and creases.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors
 Acanthosis nigricans can affect otherwise healthy people, or it can be related to medical problems. Some cases are genetically inherited. The condition is most commonly seen among people of African descent, in part because it is easier to see in darker skin.
 Obesity can lead to acanthosis nigricans, as can some endocrine disorders. It is often found in people with obesity-related insulin resistance.
 Some medicines, particularly hormones such as human growth hormone or birth control pills, can also cause acanthosis nigricans.

Symptoms
 Acanthosis nigricans usually appears slowly and doesn't cause any symptoms other than skin changes.
 Eventually, dark, velvety skin with very visible markings and creases appears in the armpits, groin and neck folds, and over the joints of the fingers and toes.
 Less commonly, the lips, palms, soles of the feet, or other areas may be affected. 

Signs and tests
Doctor can usually diagnose acanthosis nigricans by looking at your skin. A skin biopsy may be needed in unusual cases.
If there is no clear cause of acanthosis nigricans, Doctor may order tests. This may include:
 Blood tests to check blood sugar level
 Endoscopy
 X-rays

Homeopathy Treatment
When acanthosis nigricans is related to obesity, losing weight often improves the condition. Treat any underlying medical problem that may be causing these skin changes.
