I only have these dark marks in the knuckle area, and I'm afraid it could be acanthosis nigricans, which is related to diabetes. I am a thin 26 year old man with a decent physical composition, not too much fat but my last blood tests showed a fasting glucose of 100 and in the other 98. In acanthosis nigricans these spots also usually appear in other areas of the body such as elbows, armpits and groin, it is not my case, I only have them on the knuckles.
I would like to know your opinion. Is it stupid or I should worry about this? Could this be an indication of pre-diabetes state? I feel that I experience some blood sugar fluctuations during the day.
