Acanthosis Nigricans is a common skin condition characterized by dark, thickened, velvety patches, most often affecting the neck, underarms, groin, and body folds. It is frequently associated with insulin resistance, obesity, hormonal imbalances, or certain medications. Although it is not contagious, it may indicate an underlying metabolic condition that requires medical evaluation. At Dr. Shivani’s Skin Clinic, proper assessment helps identify the cause and guide personalized treatment. Management may include lifestyle modifications, treatment of associated medical conditions, and dermatologist-recommended topical or procedural therapies to improve skin appearance. Early consultation can help achieve better long-term results and overall skin health. acanthosis nigricans treatment Wakad PCMC dark neck treatment clinic insulin resistance skin changes neck pigmentation treatment underarm pigmentation treatment Dr. Shivani’s Skin Clinic, Wakad, pcmc
