Recently I have observed that. I lost skin and regained with a dark skin when I rubbed the skin below my knee when itching occurs. Today I observed that nearly 4 dark spots below my left knee. Please suggest what to do. I had taken medication for allergy for 6 months ago in injection form for 6 months.

Acanthosis nigricans is a skin condition.

Acanthosis nigricans is not an infection and isn't contagious. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.
