    Patients (usually obese patients) with excessive darkening and thickening of skin in the body folds, specially the armpit, are investigated using various tests such as fasting sugar level, serum insulin level, lipid profile and measurement of weight and percentage body fat (or body mass index). Female patients are subjected to ultrasound to detect the presence of cystic ovaries.

    All patients with acne, especially females, are assessed for their hormonal status. Isotretinoin is routinely prescribed and gives excellent results. Biopsy is always performed to exclude the possibilities of other diseases.
