Ama-acanthosis nigricans

I-Acanthosis nigricans (AN) yisifo sesikhumba lapho kukhona khona isikhumba esimnyama, esijiyile, nesivelanayo emaphikweni nasemikhakheni yomzimba.

I-AN ingathinta abantu abaphilile ngenye indlela. Kungabuye kuhlobene nezinkinga zezokwelapha, njenge:

• Izinkinga zofuzo, kufaka phakathi i-Down syndrome ne-Alström syndrome
• Ukungalingani kweHormone okwenzeka kusifo sikashukela nokukhuluphala
• Umdlavuza, njengomdlavuza wohlelo lokugaya ukudla, isibindi, izinso, isinye, noma i-lymphoma
• Eminye imithi, kufaka phakathi ama-hormone afana ne-hormone yokukhula komuntu noma amaphilisi okulawula ukuzalwa

I-AN ivame ukuvela kancane futhi ayibangeli zimpawu ngaphandle kokushintsha kwesikhumba.

Ekugcineni, kuvela isikhumba esimnyama, esimnyama nesinezimpawu ezibonakalayo nama-crease emakhwapheni, emigodini nasemigodini yentamo, naphezu kwamalunga eminwe nezinzwane.

Kwesinye isikhathi kuthinteka izindebe, izintende zezandla, amathe ezinyawo, noma ezinye izindawo. Lezi zimpawu zivame kakhulu kubantu abanomdlavuza.

Umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo uvame ukuxilonga i-AN ngokubheka isikhumba sakho. I-biopsy yesikhumba ingadingeka ezimweni ezingavamile.

Uma kungekho sizathu esicacile se-AN, umhlinzeki wakho anga-oda ukuhlolwa. Lokhu kungafaka:

• Ukuhlolwa kwegazi ukuhlola izinga likashukela egazini noma izinga le-insulin
• I-Endoscopy
• Ama-X-ray

Akukho ukwelashwa okudingekayo, njengoba i-AN ibangela kuphela ushintsho kumbala wesikhumba. Uma isimo sithinta ukubukeka kwakho, ukusebenzisa izinto zokuthambisa eziqukethe i-ammonium lactate, i-tretinoin, noma i-hydroquinone kungasiza ekukhanyiseni isikhumba. Umhlinzeki wakho futhi angaphakamisa ukwelashwa nge-laser.

Kubalulekile ukwelapha noma iyiphi inkinga yezokwelapha engaba yimbangela yalezi zinguquko zesikhumba. Lapho i-AN ihlobene nokukhuluphala, ukwehlisa isisindo kuvame ukuthuthukisa isimo.

U-AN uvame ukunyamalala uma imbangela ingatholakala futhi yelashwe.

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho uma uthuthukisa izindawo zesikhumba esinyene, esimnyama, nesivelivethi.
