Hi,

What is your age?

The skin in the regions you mention is normally dark as compared to skin elsewhere.

Do you have any other associated symptoms of itching, rash , etc.

It would not be advisable to scrub the area too hard as this would irritate the skin. You should try to avoid sweat collection in the areas, keep the areas clean, maintain good personal hygiene, wear lose comfortable clothes. Apply calamine lotion at the sites.

Consult a skin specialist for your complaints and discuss whether a demyleininzing agent would help in your case.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Post us about what your doctor advises.

Regards.

I also have problems with a darkened area around the sides and near the back but not all the way to the back.Looks llike stripes on right side and other side is just dark like someone choked me.  My skin is caramel color, I am Black and I have noticed it in the last two months. My family doctor says it is hyperpigmentation and prescribed a cream but the cream made me feel big and bloated while using (part steroidI believe). I take one blood pressure med a day. I don't understand this dark color. It is not thick but it is very noticeable. Any answers.
