Hi

Dark pigmentation on the skin especially involving the neck, the inner thighs and the arm pits may be due to hormonal imbalance. If there are associated weight problems and adrenal problems, then dark skin pigmentations may present. If this has been present for quite some time already, then you may need to have this assessed by an internist. An endocrinology referral may be necessary.

Apply vitamin E cream over the dark areas. Do not rub or scrub vigorously. This may thicken the skin. Mildly exfoliate from time to time.

How old are you?

Do you have any associated conditions like diabetes?

i have had this dark ring on my neck since i was 5 and i am now 23. Its been really hard to deal with and when i was younger i would crub so bad i would hurt my self. Im actually considering lazer surgery for it. i hope that does the trick. I dont know of any other remedies to make it go away. a simple scrub does not help. Some people say that it is dirt. i still have no clue. what would you suggest?
