Hi ,
Thank you for your query.
I can understand your concern.
Do you have increased weight ?
Darkening of the skin is hormaonal to some extent.
Keep the areas very clean and avoid irritant deodorants and creams.
There are some skin lightening creams available in the market.You can try them after consulting a dermatologist.
Permanant cure is possible by laser therapy at the selected areas done by an expert cosmetic dermatologist.
Consult your doctor about medications if the problem persists.
If you have any further queries you are free to consult me.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
