AB An  adolescent  girl  with  obesity  and  recently  diagnosed  type  II  diabetes  mellitus  (DM)  presents  to  her  family  physician  with  concerns  about  a  “dirty  area”  under  her  arms  and  on  her  neck  that  “couldn't  be  cleaned”  (Figure  220-1).  She  has  irregular  periods  that  often  skip  several  months  at  a  time.  The  physician  makes  the  diagnosis  of  acanthosis  nigricans.
