Darkening skin

I just did a little more research, was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of the arkening skin between my thighs.

I get quite compulsive when washing, because no matter what I do it doesn't go away or get better.

Washing does not rid of the darken skin because it is not dirt. I have it too, and pretty much I have just learned to live with it. I have noticed since losing 50+lbs, my darker skin has gotten lighter. its still there, but I dont think it will ever go away complety. Being very fair skinned too doesn't help either.
