I've been dealing with PCOS and a thyroid problem for the last 8 years, and I've noticed that after putting on weight, the skin on my neck and underarms has turned a darker color. I've already tried a bunch of home remedies like lemon, sugar, tomato, and baking soda but none of them worked. Can you suggest a solution for this issue?

Thats acanthosis and is due to insulin resistance, maintain healthy weight and stress free life,visit dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm a bit confused about my treatment plan coming up soon. My current weight is 64.8 kg, and my height is 169 cm, putting my BMI at 22.7. Everything I've read suggests I should stay at this weight. But in two weeks, my medication dosage is going to be adjusted based on my weight. It looks like I'd get 3 tablets if I'm under 65 kg and 5 tablets if over 65 kg. I'm torn on whether I should try to bump my weight slightly to around 67 kg or just stay where I am. Can you help me figure out what's best?
