Brief Answer:
Acanthosis nigricams with a patch of lichemoid dermatitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi. Thank you. I have reviewed the Image.
He has acanthosis nigricans along with a patch (2cmX2cm) of lichenoid eruption, on the back of his neck. Acanthosis nigricans is more common in diabetics and overweight individuals and presents with dark, velvetty texture of skin of neck folds. Acanthosis is quite stubborn to treatment, however, topical tretinoin 0.05% cream, once daily at night, has been tried with positive results in acanthosis nigricans. Specifically for the lichenoid patch, I suggest him to use a topical potent steroid cream e.g clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream (tenovate cream), twice daily, for 2-4 weeks. Since this lichenoid patch may also be itchy, therefore he may also take a tablet of cetrizine 10 mg once daily, in evening for symptomatic relief from itching.
Regards
