acanthosis nigricans... I'm not 100% sure but that could mean that your GF has insuline resistance. the best thing that you can do is to go to the doctor just to be sure.
p.d: sorry if it soesn´t understands too much, i'm not english native.
Arcanthos is commen in the arm pits, and a clinical marker for a malign disease. Never heard that it is linked to DM But an appointment with your Dr. Is a fine idea
