Dark Neck & Underarm Creams

Are you looking for the best cream for treating dark neck and underarms? The answer is there isn’t any! You could attribute the darkness on your neck to several causes. Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin become darker in colour. If the doctor discovers that hormones are not the cause of the skin colour changes, excessive sun exposure and poor hygiene could be potential factors.  Hyperpigmentation, the velvety patches on the folds and creases of the skin like neck, armpits, groin, etc. is called Acanthosis Nigricans (AN).    What could be the possible reasons for Acanthosis Nigricans ?   Diabetes Acanthosis Nigricans commonly signifies that your body is generating an excess of insulin that it cannot utilize efficiently. Increasing amounts of insulin can lead to a dark patch on the skin. This is called insulin resistance.   PCOS Women with PCOS frequently develop dark spots in areas of the body where there is rubbing or friction, such as the neck, underarms, and inner thighs.   Obesity (most common) Acanthosis Nigricans is associated with obesity and affects the skin. Over half of adults who are double their ideal body weight suffer from this condition.   Hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism can alter the condition of your skin, hair, and nails. It may also result in skin issues like vitiligo, melasma, alopecia areata, and xanthelasma palpebrarum. Additionally, these conditions can lead to further complications, and consequently, individuals may experience a range of symptoms.   Prolonged use of birth control pills Prolonged use of contraceptive pills can result in the formation of hyperpigmentation in areas like the armpits and skin folds.    Continuous use of steroids like Prednisolone, etc. The individual experienced the development of thickened, darkened skin in the groin, armpits, and neck following eight years of steroid treatment for dermatomyositis.   No creams or peels can cure Acanthosis Nigricans  completely. They can only lighten it a little temporarily; however, they can never cure it! Therefore, despite their efforts, the underlying issue remains unresolved.  Only internal treatment can cure Acanthosis Nigricans.   What to do when you notice you have Acanthosis Nigricans ?   First, do a complete bloodwork/hormonal picture; then, consult an Ayurvedic doctor; and finally, find and treat the root cause.  If you have PCOS or diabetes, treat it. And if you are obese, lose weight.   If any doctor tells you he/she can cure Acanthosis Nigricans completely with skin treatments, and you believe it, then be ready to lose all your money.   If you’re looking for the best cream for treating dark neck and underarms, you’ll be disappointed. The condition is Acanthosis Nigricans, which might be related to some underlying health issues that you already have.
