💨 Abstract
This article discusses the potential cause of dark patches on the arms and neck, often misattributed to hygiene issues. The condition, called acanthosis nigricans (AN), is linked to insulin resistance, a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, particularly in overweight individuals or those with a family history of diabetes. The dark, velvety skin typically appears on the neck, armpits, or groin area.
