I have acanthosis nigricans, and ive been taking a kind of medicine that's saposed to help it. There really is no cure, and its not deadly. It's jus a sigh that if I get diabetes, it's a death sentance so yeahh im trying to lose weight and the medicine im using is saposed to get rid of the discoloration. I tried everything before i knew what if was.. and everything hurt ALOT. Well i started using this cream and it showeda diffrence immediatly. It was awsome it was clearing up and now i have blisters on the back of my neck and my moms telling me to stop using it until the doctor figure out why its doing that. But i dont wasnt to I mean it jus started goinf away and its gross looking and everyone at my school thinks I dont shower except a couple people AND I Do its not as easy as soap and water it grows up and out of my skin.. and that cream was my last hope and now i cant use it and i dont wanna be made fun of anymore. So at the moment im crying, lil depressed because I want chocolate and I cant eat it because ill gaina nother 100 pounds and be even fatter and it'll become more black and this SUCKS! I dont wanna tell anyone because i donno what they think and my parents my family no one understand why i feel so hopeless at the moment because its not going away anymore and its gunna get worse and my neck hurts and I just wanna go to bed because im fat, stupid cuz i got my hopes up and they came crashing down and I want chocolate god dammit!

keep trying to lose weight dont worry you'll get there! just dont starve yourself or go on any stupid diet cos they never work and you end up puting more weight on then before... eat healthy and excersisce. i know its hard to resist food that tastes so good! when i was trying to lose weight i was fine with not eating junk food until it came to chocolate i just gave in... so i know its temping! but you cant just give up.. try and stay strong! and about your Acanthosis Nigricans
even though the cream helped it start to go away you have to find out if the cream is making it worse... if the blisters are really bad then i think you should stop using it for a little while... even though you dont want to... if you tell your friends they might understand... and if they dont then there not really your friends....
dont give up

Listen honey,
It didn't take me much research to find all I needed to know about acanthosis nigricans. And you have been given the right diagnonsis and the right instructions. YOu ARE on a path to diabetes. The skin condition is a WARNING. This condition is caused by obesity, caused by eating to much and can lead to diabetes. This is one condition that is 100% preventable, and 100% controlled by you. You have to make up your mind to stop substituting food for good feelings.
Being sick does not feel good. You can take this advice now and save yourself years and years of pain and suffering, or you can wait until the situation is critical, say 20 years from now and then it will be even harder. But the "cure" will be the same. YOU HAVE TO LOOSE WEIGHT.
Do you have any idea how many people have diseases and condition that THEY WISH, all they had to do was LOOSE WEIGHT, and the disease or condition would go away. Now get strong and get going. No one can do it for you. Say no to too much food, say no to junk food, get moving and always say NOT TO CHOCOLATE.
Go ahead give me a bad rating, but I would never change my advice to you. I live by it.

I am so sorry, that must be an awful thing to deal with. Especially if people think it's just dirt. I've had a look at a website and it suggests treatments to just improve the appearance includes Retin-A, 20% urea, alpha hydroxyacids, and lactic or salicylic acid prescriptions. Has the doctor given you anything like this? You could also ask about taking fish oil supplements. It also says that this condition often fades if the underlying cause can be found and treated. So there is hope to hold on to.
If the cream you are using is causing blisters, you really do need to stop using it for now. At least until the doctor has investigated it. The blisters could cause even more problems and you have enough to deal with at the moment.
As for the chocolate, that's a tough one, but if keeping off it for a while helps you to lose weight, you may be able to try a little in a few months. Also, although it will be of little comfort at the moment, usually the longer you go without chocolate the less you crave it. If it's better for your health and wellbeing to diet, go for it. Don't be afraid to let people know you have a health problem, it should help them to understand, and if you try a diet as well, your friends could support you.
Try writing down how you are feeling, pouring everything out in a letter, then either show your parents how badly this has affected you, or burn the letter for release. It may sound strange but it works.
Just try to stay strong, you WILL get through this, just make sure you do everything you can to help yourself and make sure the doctor keeps on top of it as well.
