Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hello,I have no idea what's been going on with my neck but I'm becoming more self-conscious each day. About 1.5 months ago, I suddenly noticed these strange lines on the sides of my neck but I have no idea how long I've had them. The lines look bumpy/beaded but in a patterned, uniform way. They don't itch or hurt, they just look bad. Mostly the bumps are skin-colored but between the lines they are slightly darker. The bumps look rougher in the picture than they feel. When I extend my neck like in the photos or when light casts shadows, the lines look more obvious than when my neck is upright. The bumps are just faint colored spots when they reach my collarbones.Pictures:Pic 1Pic 2Pic 3Pic 4I've been to the dermatologist who originally thought I was having an allergic reaction. He prescribed a topical corticosteroid anti inflammatory lotion for me to use. It didn't help, so then he diagnosed it as the early stages of acanthosis nigricans. But my neck doesn't have that smooth velvet look, and it's not really dark or noticeable unless looking closely or when I flatten the skin with my fingers (Pic 4).Per the dermatologist's orders, I've been taking minocin (antibiotic) twice a day and using Urea cream (20%) three times a day for the last 4 weeks. The bumps had a reduced appearance for a while but now they are getting worse and more obvious.Has anyone else had this problem? What else could it be if not AN?Thanks!
