What is a carbon collar?

Carbon neck , or Acanthosis Nigricans, is a condition in which the skin appears dark, thick, and rough. It is often found on the neck, armpits, groin, or other folds. The skin may appear dull and soot-stained, and no matter how much you scrub it, it won’t come off. Many people misunderstand this as a cleanliness problem. However, in medical terms, this is a sign of cellular changes in the skin caused by abnormalities in the body’s internal systems.

The hidden dangers behind carbon necks

Acanthosis Nigricans is not an isolated skin disease, but rather a symptom reflecting a metabolic and hormonal disorder in the body. Common causes include:

• Insulin Resistance: The body produces too much insulin but cannot use it effectively, leading to type 2 diabetes.
• Obesity and metabolic syndrome: especially in people with abdominal fat accumulation
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): In women with hormonal imbalance
• Hormonal abnormalities from the thyroid or adrenal glands
• Certain cancers: such as pancreatic, stomach, or adrenal cancer, in cases where the skin changes rapidly and severely.

The worrying thing is that many people don’t know they have insulin resistance or a hormone imbalance because they don’t have any แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ other obvious symptoms, making “carbon monoxide” a key clue that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Treatment of carbon neck requires both internal and external care.

The key to treating this condition is not just to whiten the skin, but to treat the underlying causes as well, such as:

• Adjust eating habits, reduce starch and sugar.
• Control your weight and increase your exercise.
• Blood tests to check insulin, sugar and hormone levels
• If you have diabetes or PCOS, it needs to be treated properly.
• Use topical exfoliants such as vitamin A acid or AHA fruit acids.
• Laser treatment to help reduce skin thickness and darkness
