8. Recovery From Acanthosis Nigricans
Experiencing acanthosis nigricans can be frustrating and demoralizing, but there is a great prognosis for recovery.
In the same way that acanthosis nigricans develops slowly and over time, the recovery process is a slow and steady one. Once the underlying cause of the condition has been determined and a suitable management plan has been outlined, patients can expect to see recovery results within a few months to one year. 7Phiske, MeghanaMadhukar. ‘An Approach to Acanthosis nigricans.’ Indian Dermatology Online Journal, vol. 5, no. 3, 2014, p. 239.
