Is this AN? how do I decrease this dark skin tone? (photo)

emily2020Jul 3, 2020
My insulin level was 21 when the last number in the reference range was a 19. So it isn't too high. One doctor told me nothing, one said chafing (but i wear special shorts), and my obgyn said acanthosis nigrocins... i don't know what to do. How do I lighten this? I feel so ugly.
