Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study is to determine the efficacy of fractional CO2 laser versus and  and ferulic acid sequential peel (12% and 8%) in the treatment of neck acanthosis nigricans.
As of now, no study has been done to compare these two groups. Thus making this study a first of its kind.
