Acanothosis Nigricans is fading!
So I have acanthosis nigricans on my elbows, left ankle, and inner thighs.
https://health.google.com/health/ref...osis+nigricans I am both hypothyroid and PCOS w/ insulin reistance. I just posted progress pix of my elbows. This is the before: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XRT7AKVmEv...n_01222010.jpg This is after: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XRT7AKVmEv...n_03242010.jpg I'm pretty excited about seeing progress! :carrot: A. |
Wow!!! That is a HUGE difference. I have that on my knees and inner thigh too also elbows. What did you do to make it go away??

AN is from excess insulin.
I've done this before and the key for me is exercise since that helps lower excess insulin. At least 45 min 4 x a week. I'm trying to be better about that bench mark. Also trying out lower GI diet/more controlled portions to get blood sugar stable. I fished out my old monitor and have been doing pricks to see where it is, and I have an endoc. appt in May. I haven't seen her since last year, when I was able to come off the Metformin. A. |
Awesome!!! I never took pics of mine before, but I've noticed improvement on my elbows and knees... now if only I could get my armpits to clear up so that I can wear some tanktops this summer.... maybe increasing my exercise would help????
Keep us posted on your progress! |
I used to have it in the armpits bit that's long faded.
I think it was worse when I was pregnant and eventually it chilled out, leaving me with the elbows, ankle and groin. A. |
Nice!!! I will have to do that. I hate the ones in my armpit. But I still wear sleeveless shirts :)

Congratulations! I have AN on my neck, collarbones (that was a bummer ...), underarms and groin. I recently gained back a bunch of weight, and that's when it started popping up on my neck and showed up for the first time on my collarbones. I was so upset.
I'm now removing most starchy carbs from my diet, weaning myself off sweets, started Met and am exercising with a vengeance. I hate this stuff on my skin - I want it GONE! |
I know -- AN doesn't hurt or anything like that, but it isn't pretty.
You can do it! A. |
Thanks apostrophe!
I've just been so angry about the darkness on my collarbones, because my collarbones are one of the few parts of my body that I DO love, you know? |
