Neck darkening/Acanthosis improving?
Hi all,
I'm still in my pre-op era, but I'm getting closer to my surgery date and closer to commiting to the gastric sleeve and the lifestyle. So I was making a list of NSVs to look forward to and had a question for people who lost weight.
I've had a dark neck and armpits since childhood (my aunt would literally try to scrub "the dirt off my neck" in the shower), I learned when I got older, that it was called acanthosis nigricans. I don't have prediabetes or diabetes. I have lost weight multiple times in my life and I dont remember if my neck pigmentation improved.
I love my current physical appearance very much, but the stark contrast between my face/neck and my chest is still an insecurity of mine. Has anyone had acanthosis or darkened skin that improved with weight loss?
Thank you!
