ʻO ka hōʻailona nui o ka acanthosis nigricans ka ʻili ʻeleʻele, mānoanoa, a me ka velvety ma nā wahi o ke kino a me nā wahi kuʻi. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa pinepine ia ma nā kua, nā ʻūhā, a me ke kua o ka ʻāʻī. Hoʻomohala mālie ia. Hiki i ka ʻili i pilikia ke ʻūhū, loaʻa kahi ʻala a hoʻomohala i nā lepili ʻili.

E kūkā me kāu mea mālama ola inā ʻike ʻoe i nā loli i kou ʻili—inā wikiwiki loa kēlā mau loli. Loaʻa paha iā ʻoe kahi kūlana o loko e pono ai ke lapaʻau.

Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka ʻili ʻeleʻele o ka acanthosis nigricans i ka wā o ka nānā ʻana i ka ʻili. No ka maopopo loa i ka maʻi, hiki i kāu mea mālama ola ke lawe i kahi ʻāpana o ka ʻili (biopsy) e nānā ma lalo o ka microscope. A i ʻole paha, pono ʻoe i nā hoʻokolohua ʻē aʻe e ʻike i ke kumu o kou mau hōʻailona.

ʻAʻohe lāʻau lapaʻau kūikawā no ka acanthosis nigricans. Hiki i kāu mea mālama ola ke manaʻo aku i nā lāʻau lapaʻau e kōkua ai i ka ʻeha a me ka ʻala, e like me nā ʻaila ʻili, nā kopa kūikawā, nā lāʻau lapaʻau a me ka lāʻau laser.

Hiki i ka mālama ʻana i ke kumu kumu ke kōkua. ʻO nā hoʻohālike e komo pū ana:

• E lilo i kaumaha. Inā pili ka acanthosis nigricans iā ʻoe i ka momona, hiki i ka aʻo ʻana i ka meaʻai a me ka lilo ʻana i kaumaha ke kōkua.
• E hoʻōki i nā lāʻau lapaʻau. Inā pili kou kūlana i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau a i ʻole mea hoʻohui āu e hoʻohana nei, hiki i kāu mea mālama ola ke manaʻo aku e hoʻōki ʻoe i ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēlā mea.
• E hana i ka ʻoki kino. Inā hoʻonāukiuki ʻia ka acanthosis nigricans e kahi ʻōpū kanesa, hoʻomaʻemaʻe pinepine ka ʻoki kino e wehe i ka ʻōpū i nā hōʻailona ʻili.
