I'm not overweight and I do exercises regularly, but I've got Acanthosis nigricans on my neck and some other parts of my body. It's really frustrating and I'm starting to feel a bit depressed about it. I feel like I'm perfectly fit, so I'm just confused why I'm dealing with this. Is there any way to get my normal skin back?

Acanthosis nigricans can sometimes occur in individuals who are not overweight and lead an active lifestyle. To help improve the appearance of Acanthosis nigricans, you can try using a topical cream containing 20% urea or 12% ammonium lactate. These creams can help exfoliate the affected areas and improve the skin texture. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and keeping your skin well moisturized can also help in reducing the appearance of Acanthosis nigricans.

View allI'm using Tyza cream for my skin issue, and it's working well. But if I skip using it for even a day, the itching comes right back. Should I be worried about this? Is it a sign of a more serious problem?
Tyza cream is likely helping to manage your skin issue, but the rebound itching when missing a day's application could indicate: *Possible Causes* 1. *Dependence on the cream*: Your skin might be relying on the cream's active ingredients to control itching. 2. *Underlying skin condition*: The cream may be masking an underlying condition, such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. 3. *Skin barrier disruption*: The cream's ingredients might be altering your skin's natural barrier function, leading to increased sensitivity.

I'm 26 and already dealing with 35 white hairs. I'm also starting to lose some hair. Is there any solution for this?
Premature graying of hair and hair fall can be concerning issues. To address the premature graying, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Additionally, taking Biotin supplements can also help in improving hair health. For the hair fall, you can use Finasteride 1mg daily to help reduce hair fall and promote hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and to manage stress levels as these can also impact hair health.
