I'm a 39-year-old woman and had my gallbladder removed about a year ago. Six months later, I started getting pimples and marks on my skin, which I've never dealt with before. My skin is pretty fair, and I've tried using some products like sebeam soap, cleargel, and epiduo, as recommended by a dermatologist. It's been three weeks, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What's going on, and what else can I do to clear these up?

I've had acanthosis nigricans for the last 11 years, and it has been particularly bad on my neck. I've tried a few creams recommended by doctors, but they haven't really helped much. I do have a bit of extra weight, but I make sure to exercise every day. My dad has diabetes, so I'm worried there might be a connection. I'm 18 now and really want to find a long-term solution. Can plastic surgery or laser treatments actually get rid of acanthosis nigricans?

Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) treatment focuses on addressing underlying causes, such as insulin resistance and obesity. _Realistic Expectations_: No "cure" exists, but symptoms can be managed. _Treatment Options_: 1. Lifestyle changes: Maintain a healthy weight, diet, and exercise routine. 2. Topical treatments: Creams or ointments may help improve skin texture. 3. Oral medications: Metformin may help improve insulin sensitivity. _Plastic Surgery and Laser Treatment_: Not recommended as primary treatments for AN.

I'm a bit worried about a brown mole on the shaft of my penis. It's around 57mm in diameter and has an irregular border. It started out at about 2mm just five months ago. Do you think I should get it checked out by a doctor?
