Brief Answer:
First we need to rule out pre-diabetes and diabetes

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. The dark lines that you have at the back of your neck are called acanthosis nigracans and in majority of cases indicate an insulin resistance which is usually an indicator of either pre-diabetes or diabetes. I would recommend a blood glucose profile to help rule out both these conditions.

But if diabetes and pre-diabetes are ruled out (can be done with a test called HbA1c), then suspecting and ruling out conditions like fungal infections should be considered. But I would first recommend a check on your blood glucose profile.

As for the moles on your neck, these are nothing to worry about as the appearance of moles after the age of 40-50 are common.

I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
Can even be normal discoloration of skin, mole removal totally harmless

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again ma'am.

A HbA1c test helps to check on the blood glucose level and how well your blood sugar has been controlled all these years. Please do consider getting this done as it is much more accurate than the normal FBS, PPBS, etc.

I do not think it is harmful in any way to get the moles removed and is in fact very common these days. Even my mother just recently got many moles removed through laser therapy, and the procedure was totally painless and harmless; you can speak to any cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist about the same.

Best wishes. :)
