Symptom #3: Acanthosis Nigricans
People all over the world invest a lot of time and money in attaining what they consider to be the perfect complexion. It is harder for some people than others, though, especially those that have conditions that cause skin problems. One such problem is acanthosis nigricans, which is sometimes caused by type 2 diabetes.
Acanthosis nigricans appears as darkened patches of skin, often around the armpits, neck, and groin areas. These patches will also often take on a velvety texture that feels very soft to the touch. If you do notice any imperfections of the skin that you cannot explain, you should try to find out what is causing it.
