How to get rid of the spots on my cheeks?

Why do overweight people get dark spots on the cheeks?

  • Answer:

    This dark patch is acanthosis nigricans, or "A.N." It is a sign that your body is making extra insulin. The insulin builds up, and as a result, you may get a dark area of skin. We call this insulin resistance which is a step towards type 2 diabetes.
