There are extensive, usually blurred dirty-brown spots that merge into very flat plaques. Typical is a leathery, in the intertriginous zones (axillae, liver regions, also neck and nape regions) also verrucous surface of the plaques. Complaints are usually not present. In the intertrigines there is a risk of microbial colonization causing an unpleasant musty foetor (see below Acanthosis nigricans).
