Acanthosis nigricans may not disappear on its own, however, medical treatment isn’t always necessary. If no underlying condition is causing it, you can choose whether to treat the dark patches.

Treatment often leads to clear skin, although the dark spots may not completely vanish. Addressing the underlying cause, such as diabetes or a hormonal condition, can help improve the skin.

Weight loss, exercise, and a healthy diet can reduce insulin levels, potentially causing the patches to fade or disappear completely.
