Pigmentation On Neck, Dark Patches On Stomach. History Of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Overweight. Treatment?
I am a 33 year old female with rheumatoid arthritis and slightly overweight . I have pigmentation on both sides of the neck and patches of darker colour on my stomach. This is non itchy, non velvety, just darker colour. They have developed over the past one year.. Nothing seems to be helping. Please advise.
hi, Thanks for writing to us. Its very difficult to think of a probable diagnosis for these pigmented lesions without clinically examining them. these could be friction induced or of lichen planus pigmentosus, acanthosis nigricans or due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It would be a wise decision to visit a dermatologist to diagnose the condition and start an appropriate treatment. Hope that helped. Take care
