How Is Acanthosis Nigricans Treated?
Eating a special diet can help reduce circulating insulin and can lead to a rapid improvement of the acanthosis nigricans. Other treatments to improve skin appearance include Retin-A, 20% urea, alpha hydroxyacids, and salicylic acid prescriptions. These are only minimally effective. Acanthosis nigricans caused by medicine may go away once the medication is stopped.
