I've had acanthosis nigricans for the last 11 years, and it has been particularly bad on my neck. I've tried a few creams recommended by doctors, but they haven't really helped much. I do have a bit of extra weight, but I make sure to exercise every day. My dad has diabetes, so I'm worried there might be a connection. I'm 18 now and really want to find a long-term solution. Can plastic surgery or laser treatments actually get rid of acanthosis nigricans?

Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) treatment focuses on addressing underlying causes, such as insulin resistance and obesity. _Realistic Expectations_: No "cure" exists, but symptoms can be managed. _Treatment Options_: 1. Lifestyle changes: Maintain a healthy weight, diet, and exercise routine. 2. Topical treatments: Creams or ointments may help improve skin texture. 3. Oral medications: Metformin may help improve insulin sensitivity. _Plastic Surgery and Laser Treatment_: Not recommended as primary treatments for AN.
