TREATMENTS OF ACANTHOSIS NIGRICANS

It is crucial to tackle the underlying cause of Acanthosis nigricans and then the condition may begin to resolve itself. Below are some treatments based on the underlying causes:

• Weight Loss

For individuals with obesity-related or insulin resistance Acanthosis nigricans, weight loss may help improve their skin texture although the discolouration may still be a problem.

• Refraining From Certain Drugs

In cases where certain medications cause acanthosis nigricans, drugs or supplements, discontinued usage may lead to the normalcy of the skin and reversion of the condition.

Cosmetic Treatment Options

Some individuals use cosmetics treatments to nullify the look or unusual odour of Acanthosis nigricans. These cosmetic treatments include:

• Antibacterial soaps
• Oral medications
• Topical antibiotics
• Reversion of skin thickening through laser therapy
• Use of prescribed creams to lighten the colouration of the skin or to make thick, rough palates become soft.

Hormones Stability

For individuals whose Acanthosis nigricans is caused as a result of hormone disorders, our dermatologist London may prescribe the use of lifestyle changes, medications and other treatments that can help to treat their skin condition if their hormone condition is kept in check.
