I'm suffering with acanthosis nigricans mainly in my neck area. I don’t have any underlying illnesses linked to this condition, but I’m losing weight on a low carb diet to help lower my insulin levels. Is there any cream/ remedy that could help reduce the darkness?

Hi,thank you for the question.For dark underarms you can do peels like glycolic peel which will help in lightening the area.Avoid using hair removal cream for removing hair from this area as sometimes the cream can lead to allergic reactions and darkening of the area.Visit a board certified...
HQ 2% will decrease melanin production and stop the further development of pigmentation it also will allow for the pigment to resolve. HQ should help treat your knees but you should try to avoid trauma and sun exposure to the area. Only use the HQ as directed and no longer than 3 months at a time
The enlighten and cosmelan peel will do a great job of lightening, brightening, and evening out your overall skin tone on your face. This can also be used on certain areas of the body. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
