I have dark patches on my inner thighs that have been there for months and dont seem to go away. Along with that, Ive been feeling an ongoing urge to eat all the time and a general sense of tiredness. Im not sure if these things are connected, but Im worried and would like to know what could be causing this and if I should take any specific steps to address it.
The dark patches on your inner thighs could be a sign of a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance. To address this, I recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin, such as Tri-Luma cream, to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, managing your insulin levels through lifestyle changes and medications like metformin can help improve the condition. For the increased appetite and tiredness, it is important to address the underlying cause, which may involve further evaluation and treatment.
