I noticed this mark on my inner thigh roughly a year ago, but upon assessing it ive noticed it%E2%80%99s grown in size and darkened. Just wondering if its anything to be concerned about. Recently something similar appeared under my left armpit too. Theyre not itchy. Thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.
It seems to be pityriasis versicolor which is a superficial fungal infection of the skin.
I would recommend you to apply topical antifungal like clotrimazole cream or miconazole cream on the affected areas twice daily for 3 weeks.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
