Laser Treatment to Remove Acanthosis Nigricans Marks?
I have insulin resistance under control by my doctor and for that condition, I also have Acanthosis Nigricans. I would like to know, can I remove those marks with laser treatment? Thanks.

Laser occasionally helpful
I would try medical treatment first, of course, before the expense of laser. These would include something such asTri-Luma which has a retinoid in it ( tretinoin) which will thin the area down and hydroquinone which should address the pigmenation problem. A kerolytic such as Kerol emulsion or Carmol 40 might also be helpful to thin down the epidermis, the hallmark of AN.
Since you are diabetic, metformin migh also be used, if this fits in with your endocrinologists treatment.
