Hello,

the darkening of the skin could also be due to something called polycystic ovarian syndrome / insulin resistance.

You need to see your Dr about this.  if it is due to insulin resistance a drug called glucophage / metformin can be useful.

I've also read that type II diabetes can present with darkening patches of skin.

What type and dosage of thyroid medication are you on?

I have never heard darkening skin as a symptom of thyroid disease. You should see a Dr. Just a guess, but it could be due to an Adrenal issue.
