any ideas as to what condition this is?
warts i think
are you referring to the dark areas?
yes
no it is not lichen sclerosis, this usually happens with persons that are overweight/obese which causes the area to be darken due to heat and reduce air to those areas.
do you have any suggestions as to what i xan so to im prove the skin?
it depends on certain factors. do you have any underling health issues? (diabetes, cancer etc…)
yes, i do have diabetes
okay then its Acanthosis nigricans since you have diabetes. what I would recommend is make an enquiry at your nearby pharmacy on treatment creams for Acanthosis nigricans.
