Question:
Do the dark marks on the skin disappear as you lose weight?

THe dark marks are under the arms, on the neck and between the legs.    — Sarah S. (posted on June 30, 2003)

Hi Sarah... mine are fading. My doc told me theymight never go away because of tissue damage, but they are really lightening up... 18 mths post-op and down 220 lbs!

The acanthosis nigricans (dark skin rash on my nack, inside elbows, chest, under arms, lower back) caused by my PCOS has absolutely disappeared since having surgery, losing some weight, and cureing (sp?) my type II diabetes.
