Darkened patches around the neck and under the breasts or arm. This is called acanthosis nigricans. Is anyone dealing with this issue, for me acanthosis nigricans, hair loss, and weight are the most difficult for me to deal with having PCOS. If anyone has any info it would be very much appreciated.

i have this on my inner thighs and under arms. i dont think theres anything you can do to stop it. meds can lighten it up but wont remove it. btw NEVER use bleaching creams. they can be dangerous

the extra lbs, extra on body and hair loss are the hardest for me to deal with. the dark spots aren't that bad (to me) they seem to get lighter as i loose weight.
hope everything works out for u, best wishes

I have found that rubbing viniger (I do it right before the shower) on my dark spots actually lightens them. I use a cotton ball and just suck up the smell! :)
