SKIN CONDITIONS Common Hyperpigmentation Disorders in Adults: Part II. Melanoma, Seborrheic Keratoses, Acanthosis Nigricans, Melasma, Diabetic Dermopathy, Tinea Versicolor, and Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Acanthosis nigricans is associated with insulin resistance, and sudden onset of acanthosis nigricans or multiple seborrheic keratoses can be associated with underlying malignancy. |
