HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the causes of acanthosis is poorly understood but most of the time it could be genetically inherited, it may be due to thyroid dysfunction but it needs classification, symptomatic treatment can be tried till the picture being cleared best drug would be "Hydroquinone cream if this is really due to the endocrine pathology then it will come around once the underlying cause being given right treatment and it may take some time be patience hope this information helps.
