Dr. Dray, I’ve had this kind of skin discoloration on my neck (it’s not very noticeable) since I was a kid, about 12 (and I wasn’t a heavy kid). My PCP at age 12 just brushed it off as some hyperpigmentation. I don’t have diabetes and I’ve had blood work several times in my life (I’m 36) and it’s always come back normal. Would problems with my endocrine system show up in my blood work?
My brother was told it’s because he is half black. Lol it ended up being insulin resistance. He was hospitalized as an adult with failing organs due to untreated insulin resistance. He lost over 100lbs and it all went away.
I worked as a hairstylist for 20+ years. One of the girls I worked with had this. Me being me ā¦šā¦ I said something to her about her neck and cheeks. I let her know she need to go the doctor. Her doctor diagnosed her with diabetes. She was so grateful . She had no other noticeable symptoms.
Happy Friday Dr Dray excited to be here. Thanks for addressing this subject have a good night.
Glycolic acid? I forget another item mentioned in a couple videos I’ve seen lately
I love how tretinoin finds its way in almost every skin issue.

Try to have your TSH tested! I thought I was diabetic either. Turns out I have hypothyroidism

It looks like the discolouration from hydroquinone.
Root cause: Bleachingš
I have this now around my neck. Iām pretty fair so itās not that noticeable but I can see it. I worry that I am diabetic now.
Get checked out.
I love how she said ” your wrong” she is so funny and smart!
Tretinoin on underarms ?I think it can cause more irritation
I have this under my armpits or at least something that looks similar
Could it just be stretch marks? Thereās not really a discoloration and Iāve tested for any internal issues, Iām far from any insulin resistance
Hi doc, can I use tretinoin 0.025% as an eye cream? Eye creams are so expensive
