What Is The Treatment For Dark Pigmentation Around Neck?

Hi,
I've recently noticed my neck has started to change colour becoming alot darker. I thought it was heat rash, but it isn't. I've tried scrubs & peels to keep it from getting darker, but it's not helping. I'm afraid this is permanent - What is this and how can I get rid of it? Thanks.

Hi. Thanks for posting in at HCM

Seems you are having Pseudoacanthosis Nigricans around neck.

I would advice that you see a nearby dermatologist for a visual confirmation of diagnosis OR you can ask me a direct query via this forum by following the link http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-kakkar/66939.

There are various treatment options available like topical creams and tablets which you can get prescribed by your treating dermatologist. Chemical peeling also helps in faster resolution.


take care
