I've had acanthosis nigricans on my neck for 11 years now and creams from doctors didn't help at all. I'm overweight but I exercise every day, and my dad has diabetes. I'm 18 and really want to get rid of this completely can plastic surgery or laser treatments cure acanthosis nigricans?

Laser treatments like Q-switch or chemical peels help mild cases‚Äîsurgery is rare; weight loss and insulin control are key.

I'm dealing with some itchy and flaky skin, and I'm really worried it might spread further. Could it be something serious? Also, I'm not diabetic, and though I have high blood pressure, it's well-managed. Any advice on what this might be or how to treat it?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a skin condition like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis, which can cause itching and flakiness. Since you have high blood pressure, it's important to use gentle, non-irritating treatments. If it worsens or spreads, I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
