Dark colour of neck skin
My 13 year old daughter has dark colouration of skin on the back of the neck. She is 5 foot 7. 62 kg. Moderately active. The texture is not velvety. It's just plain. I am worried if it is insulin resistance. Her blood sugar is in normal range. It was done 6 months back. Please advise how to proceed.
