Acanthosis Nigricans

How can Acanthosis Nigricans be treated and which kind of specialist should I seek for help?

AN's are easily removed with lasers, but they will return if there is an underlying problem causing them, such as PCOS or elevated blood sugars. SInce laser treatment can be expensive, I tried a product with beta hydroxy (neutrogena pore refining face cleanser). After a few days of treatment the rough part of the AN comes off, but a little pigmentation stays. See a doctor about your blood sugars and hormones, though, because AN's are an indicator for those problems, like I said.
