Discoloration of skin during a woman’s childbearing years may be a symptom of PCOS. The expansive, thick, brown or black discoloration is known as acanthosis nigricans. It usually appears on the face, neck, armpits, navel, and groin, between the thighs and sometimes on the hands, elbows and knees.
In addition to discoloration, patients may also have skin tags and tiny wart-like growths.
