Are you noticing your neck looking darker than your face? You’re not alone.
Dark neck, also known as acanthosis nigricans in some cases, is a common skin concern that often goes unnoticed until it becomes more prominent. At Dr. Divya Sharma’s Skin & Hair Clinic in Bangalore, we help patients understand the root causes and offer safe, effective treatments tailored to your skin type.

 What Causes Dark Neck?

While poor hygiene is often wrongly blamed, there are several genuine causes of pigmentation around the neck:

• Insulin resistance or pre-diabetes

• Hormonal imbalances, especially in PCOS

• Friction from jewellery or collars

• Obesity

• Sun exposure

• Incorrect use of perfumes or cosmetics

• Genetic predisposition

Why It Needs Attention

Darkening around the neck can be an early sign of underlying health conditions like insulin resistance or thyroid imbalance. Consulting an expert dermatologist like Dr. Divya ensures you get a complete evaluation—not just a skin-deep fix.
