What Does This Skin Condition Mean? Cause and Treatment of DARK DISCOLORATION ON YOUR NECK AND BODY
In this video, I discuss what dark discolorations on your neck and other parts of your body actually mean.
Acanthosis nigricans is a skin condition characterized by dark, thickened, and velvety patches of skin. These patches typically develop in areas with folds or creases, such as the neck, armpits, groin, and sometimes on the joints of the fingers or toes. While it can affect people of any age, it's most commonly seen in individuals who are overweight or have conditions like type 2 diabetes. It can also be associated with hormonal disorders, certain medications, or as a genetic trait. Acanthosis nigricans itself isn't harmful or contagious, but it can be a sign of an underlying health issue that needs attention, such as insulin resistance or endocrine disorders.
The treatment of acanthosis nigricans typically involves addressing the underlying cause or condition that is contributing to its development. Here are some common approaches:
Weight loss: If the individual is overweight or obese, losing weight can often improve or even resolve acanthosis nigricans, especially if it's associated with insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome.
Managing underlying conditions: Treating conditions such as diabetes, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, or certain medications that may be causing or exacerbating acanthosis nigricans can help improve the condition.
Topical treatments: In some cases, topical treatments such as retinoids or keratolytics may be prescribed to help reduce the thickness and darkness of the affected skin patches. These treatments work by promoting skin cell turnover and reducing the buildup of darkened skin cells.
Oral medications: In more severe cases or when topical treatments aren't effective, oral medications such as metformin or isotretinoin may be prescribed to help improve the condition.
Lifestyle modifications: Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding excessive sun exposure, can help improve overall skin health and may help reduce the severity of acanthosis nigricans.
Cosmetic procedures: In some instances, cosmetic procedures such as laser therapy, chemical peels, or dermabrasion may be recommended to help improve the appearance of the affected skin.

    Not Jardiance it gave my sister a flesh eating bacteria. She was a little mentally slow but able to take care of herself. We celebrated her 68th birthday on August 27, 2023 and on September 2, 2023 she was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery and in out of the hospital for 4 months until the Lord called her home on December 29, 2023. So I would be extremely careful recommending Jardiance.

    You need "unheated honey" .. raw honey is not actually raw all the time. Its a marketing gimmick. They can heat honey up to 155 degrees F and still call it "raw " because it didnt reach pasturization temperature. Honey heated above 105 Degree F will lose its medicinal value that stabilizes the blood sugar /reestablishes insulin sensitivity . You need to make sure you have real unheated honey to properly do this experiment.

    This crap it will kill, your not losing fat but it's eating your muscles that the weight loss. If you are on this crap you will eventually waste away from the inside. It is designed for short term (6 months at most) so you can make changes to your diet to get your glucose under control. The AMA approach to diabetes is 60% if not more is wrong. Metformin is a cash cow for the AMA, they keep you sick enough to keep you coming back till, when you have no muscles left.
