Acanthosis nigricans can occur normally in some percentage of Indians. In some it may be a sign of underlying conditions like diabetes, hormonal issues, very rarely even malignancy also. It can be treated, though not very satisfactorily. Addressing underlying problems will be important.
Next Steps
Kindly consult a dermatologist to confirm the cause and for further treatment.
