I've been dealing with this really annoying itching and rashes around my scrotum and anus area for a few months now. It's pretty uncomfortable, and now I've noticed that the skin there has developed some dark patches. I've been using Candid powder and Suthol after showers, but it doesn't seem to be completely resolving the issue. Is there something else I could be doing to get rid of the itching?

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 really worried because I recently moved to Hyderabad and my hair's been falling out a lot. I heard it's because the water in my apartment is really hard, from bore water. I put in a shower filter and used it once, but my hair is still falling out like crazy when I comb it. What else can I do to stop this or at least fix the damage? Can you help?
