Hi.
As per your case history you are having acanthosis nigricans due to overweight and hypothyroidism.
My treatment advice is -
1. Wear loose clothes to avoid irritation on thighs.
2. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily.
3. Apply a mild topical steroid cream like flutivate cream once daily and Kojic acid cream once at night.
4. Other treatment options are oral metformin, chemical peeling done only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
