Discolored neck pre op

So I think it's because I was obese but my neck is darker then everything else. Almost looks like I should scrub it but it's not because of that. Basically I'm wondering if you had a dark neck and once post op did did it clear up I'm going to be 4 months post op and just wondering if your neck returned returned to normal color lol.

Are you diabetic or prediabetic? A dark line on your neck are an indicator. It's called Acanthosis nigricans. I used to get it when my sugars were elevated and it would clear up after awhile of being normal. There are other causes too including hereditary. Just a tidbit for you :)

I was told by a few endocrinologist it is also a sign of PCOS. I had it well before I was pre-diabetic.
