"Recognizing Early Diabetes: Signs from Your Neck to Your Mouth"
A doctor has highlighted a subtle sign of diabetes that can appear on the neck, known as acanthosis nigricans, which is characterized by darkening and thickening of the skin. This condition can also indicate other health issues and is often associated with insulin resistance. While there are dermatological treatments available, the primary focus should be on treating the underlying cause, such as diabetes, to reduce these skin changes. People noticing such signs are advised to consult their GP for proper diagnosis and management.
