In this episode of vpod.ai, we dive deep into Acanthosis Nigricans—a skin condition that’s more than just cosmetic. Often appearing as dark, thick, velvety patches in the armpits, neck, or groin, this condition can signal underlying issues like insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, or—though rarely—even internal cancers.
We break down:
- What Acanthosis Nigricans looks like and where it shows up
- Its strong connection to blood sugar issues and hormonal imbalances
- Medications and rare conditions that may trigger it
- Why sudden skin changes should never be ignored
- When to seek medical advice—and what to ask
👉 Learn how your skin could be telling you something crucial about your overall health.
