Attention: anyone know about ancanthosis nigeria? I have signs on the inside of my legs and can't get rid of i
After years of seeing this possible ancanthosis nigeria on the upper inside of my legs, I can't seem to get a doctor to get the right meds to rid my body of this unsightly outbreak. I've had this for many many years now. Am borderline diabetic. Dermatologists I've seen all come up with a different diagnosis... I'm tired, I need a referral to a doctor who knows for sure. Please send a name, address and phone number; i'm desperate. Having look on the net, i've seen pics of ppl with same like skin conditions but again have a hard time getting the right meds from doctors. Being 1/2 Native American, I've been told as late by a NP that its my "native genes" showing on my regions (groin, underarms, and back of neck and ears). UN-BELIEVABLE. Would appreciate your feedback asap. Thanks.
PS. I have been told it related to diabetes... help me pls.
Attn. Ancanthosis Nigeria , Diabetes? Help me pls.?
Acanthosis is a sign of severe insulin resistence/ obesity. It is helped with weight loss, insulin sensitizing medications such as metformin and you can use a 2% salac lotion to the areas which will help fade the areas. However, You should absolutely have your insulin levels evaluated both fasting and postprandial. you need to see an endocrinologist. Type II diabetes can be very damagingh without symptoms until it is too late.
Reply:If you are a boderline diabetic, it may not be acanthosis nigricans. On the otherhand, if you have had diabetes for years, you can't still be boderline. If it is truly AN, there is no cure for it. Your diabetologist/endocrinologist will be able to suggest better ways of dealing with it. Maybe she/he will be able to refer you to a specialist dermatologist. Anyway check out this site I am giving you. There are many more like this.
