There's most likely a component of insulin resistance if you have acanthosis nigricans. Maintain a good healthy lifestyle - with exercise / fibre rich food. Glycolic acid based creams may help. You may send pictures on practo direct for a diagnosis and prescription. Or see a qualified dermatologist near you.
