Darkening Of Skin

[mylifeinpink 349]

Exactly! I have suffered from this for as long as I can remember! I've done the alcohol scrubs' date=' betadine scrubs, to the extreme rock scrubs u know the one u use on ur feet! It is not dirt and does not go away. I have gotten it to lighten up but it comes right back. All the doctors and dermatologist I've been to all said "just lose weight and it will go away!" I didn't find out what it was until I did my own research and found Acanthosis. I can't even begin to describe the ridicule from family, "friends" making such ignorant and hurtful comments. And for someone who suffered with it too she should've known better![/quote']

In all fairness- when I was 250+ I suffered from this- and now at 140 I do NOT suffer from it any more- everything had disappeared completely. I have never had it as bad as some. I've never had huge sores or festering sores. I shower with antibacterial soap only, and keep extremely clean. And I'm not saying that's a cure or a fix- I'm just saying there IS hope for ladies who are getting ready for WLS and are so seeing if it wi subside :-)

Mine did. No more discoloration at all :-) all normal
