Never heard of many of these type of so called syndromes / diseases until I joined this forum.

When I first this thread, my first though was wash your neck more often than once a day.

Thick and darkening skins around knuckles, elbow joints etc are due to high levels of circulating insulin.

I found that mine subsided with low carbs and fasting...
 
It's a common symptom, but not all Type 2s get it. I think it can also happen with PCOS. It's related to insulin resistance.
 
How interesting i have never heard of this, thankfully i haven't got it and hope i don't. Strangely, talking about skin conditions i have psoriasis started about 2 years ago so now thinking it was a prelude to diabetes.

Isn't psoriasis an immune condition like diabetes?
 
Never had darkness around my neck til after 1st pregnancy. Never with PCOS, well unless metformin disguised it?
 
I've seen more obese people with it than without it. Both sisters have it and neither have diabetes nor PCOS.

Maybe hereditary, like some obese genes?
I've always thought due to folds in overweight person rather than IR.

Not all obese people are IR, are they? Maybe they are because of their weight gain, just not diabetic... yet.

Hi @ickihun , sorry i didn't see you post but yes and here is more information. Despite its very visible appearance on your skin, psoriasis is fundamentally anautoimmune condition, not a skin woe. Autoimmune diseases share certain traits. ... The autoimmune disease most strongly associated with psoriasis was rheumatoid arthritis. The rheumatoid arthritis i never knew about but just goggled it. The skin doctor i went to did say it was Autoimmune though. Seems i have a few of them Low thyroid though it is under control and the psoriasis also a little arthritis but doesn't overly trouble me.
 
Several people in my family have had Psoriasis my cousin had Scleroderma and my daughter has Prurigo Nodularis all autoimmune conditions or linked to autoimmune conditions in some way.
