In todays video we are
In todays video we are going to take a look at the clinical sign Acanthosis nigricans. Acanthosis nigricans is the name for dry, dark patches of skin that usually appear in the armpits, neck or groin. It could be a sign of an underlying condition, so it needs to be checked by a doctor.
Possible causes include:
• Obesity , Type 2 diabetes
• conditions that affect hormone levels – such as Cushing's syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome or an underactive thyroid
• taking certain medicines – including steroids or hormone treatments like the contraceptive pill
• rarely, cancer – usually stomach cancer
• rarely, a faulty gene inherited from your parents
Sometimes healthy people with no other conditions get acanthosis nigricans. This is more common in people with black or brown skin.
