Acanthosis nigricans
Pigmentation means coloring. Skin pigmentation disorders affect the color of your skin. Your skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin. Special cells in the skin make melanin. When these cells become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production. Some pigmentation disorders affect just patches of skin. Others affect your entire body. If your body makes too much melanin, your skin gets darker. Pregnancy, Addison's disease, and sun exposure all can make your skin darker. If your body makes too little melanin, your skin gets lighter. Vitiligo is a condition that causes patches of light skin. Albinism is a genetic condition affecting a person's skin. A person with albinism may have no color, lighter than normal skin color, or patchy missing skin color. Infections, blisters and burns can also cause lighter skin.

Wahib Zaidi3 Likes9 Answers A 61-year-old female have recurrent episodes of severe UTI every 6 months for the past 7-8 years. She is on continuous medication for 5 years. Now her urologist has diagnosed the cause as narrowing of urethral stricture and has suggested for surgical measures - OIU procedure. What is your opinion on this? Should she go for surgery or wait for some time after discontinuing the medicine to check if the episode occurs again.
