POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. Darkness of the neck (often called acanthosis nigricans) can be due to several reasons, including:
Common Causes: Insulin resistance (common in PCOS, diabetes) Obesity Hormonal changes Poor hygiene or friction Certain medications Genetics Home Remedies You Can Try:
Baking Soda Scrub
Mix baking soda and water (3:1 ratio) Apply for 10 minutes, then scrub gently Do this 2–3 times a week
Aloe Vera Gel
Apply fresh aloe vera gel to the neck Leave for 20 minutes and wash off Use daily
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
Mix ACV and water (1:1 ratio) Apply with cotton, leave for 10 minutes, then wash Use 3 times a week (moisturize afterward)
Potato Juice
Grate and squeeze potato, apply the juice Leave for 15 minutes, wash off Natural bleaching effect, safe for daily use
Lemon Juice & Honey Mask
Mix equal amounts, apply for 20 minutes Wash off (don’t use lemon if you’ll be in the sun) Lifestyle Tips: Control weight if overweight Check blood sugar levels if unsure Moisturize daily Avoid harsh soaps/friction around neck area
If it doesn't improve in a few weeks or is spreading, it’s good to get checked for hormonal issues like PCOS or diabetes.
