The reason why fat children have dark necks

Obesity is actually very common, but being too obese can easily cause various diseases, so you should also pay attention to controlling your body shape. If you observe carefully, you will find that some obese people are more likely to have dark necks. The reason for the dark neck is easily overlooked or mistaken for the skin color itself. The reasons why fat children have black necks are relatively more complicated. Please learn more about it.

1. Blackthorn disease

Acanthosis nigricans often manifests as rough and dark skin on the neck, décolleté, armpits, thighs, etc. There are many types of this disease. If it occurs in adolescents and children, most of them are pseudoacanthosis nigricans, which is common in obese people. Adolescents and children with pseudoacanthosis nigricans are at increased risk for diabetes. Therefore, if a child is already overweight, once he or she shows signs of acanthosis nigricans, one needs to be alert to the possibility of diabetes. It is best to seek medical attention promptly, check blood sugar and other indicators, and then make timely treatment and lifestyle interventions based on the test results.

2. Causes of the disease

"Pseudoacanthosis nigricans" often occurs in obese children. Obesity is not only a risk factor for inducing "pseudoacanthosis nigricans", but also an important factor in the occurrence of metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Currently, the number of adolescent patients with type 2 diabetes is gradually increasing, many of whom are induced by obesity. So, what is the reason why lively and active children grow up to be "little fat kids"? A very critical factor is eating habits. Children nowadays have relatively good living conditions since childhood, and coupled with the overindulgence of their parents, quite a number of them drink beverages as water and are obsessed with fast food. Most drinks contain sugar, and Western fast food is heavy in fat and high in calories. If children eat these foods for a long time, how can they not get fat?

3. Note

It is best to take your child to the hospital for relevant examinations in time, especially diabetes-related tests such as fasting blood sugar and postprandial blood sugar. If the test results indicate that you already have diabetes, you should develop a special treatment plan under the guidance of a doctor and adhere to standardized treatment; if the relevant test indicators are between normal and diabetic, then the diabetes alarm has been "sounded", and this group of people belongs to the "reserve army" of diabetes. In addition to following the doctor's advice for treatment, this group of people should receive professional diabetes education, intervene in their lifestyle, and control their weight, so as to help indicators such as blood sugar return to normal.
