Karrie,
I just went to this site you mention below. It states that AN should be looked for in the evaluation of PCOS. It also says that AN is associated with skin tags, not PCOS. Here is what I read:
"AN is usually described as a velvety, raised, pigmented skin changes, most often seen on the back of the neck, axillae and beneath the breasts. AN is often seen in association with skin tags (acrochordons)."
Maybe I am reading it differently than you.

I'm not a Dr. or any type of Medical Professional. The information I share is based on what I have experienced personally or what I have learned.
