I'm currently undergoing treatment for acanthosis nigricans, and my doctor recommended using a radiofrequency technique to get rid of some small black spots under my arm. I recently moved to a new city, and I'm wondering if I can continue this treatment here. Is this something I should be concerned about when changing locations, or can I just find a local specialist to continue with the radiofrequency treatment?

I've been dealing with this rash and a burning feeling around my neck and it's starting to spread. I'm currently using Acivir Cream, but I'm just worried it's not enough or if there's something else I should be trying. Is this the right treatment for what's going on, or should I consider seeing someone in person?
