Skin pigmentation can be an unwelcome spot in your relentless pursuit of flawless skin. Some causes may be rarer than others — but they can still be treated
IN MY last article I discussed common causes of facial pigmentation. Now I will discuss relatively rare causes of pigmentation before going into the treatment options. If you are overweight, you are likely to have a dark velvety patch behind your neck and underarms. Sometimes it can extend to your forehead and around the eyes. This condition, though harmless in most cases, has a long and scary name called ‘Acanthosis Nigricans’ (AN).
