Hi,
It seem that you had developed fungal infection at the thigh area which left the black marks. It is a common condition mainly seen in bit overweight persons. Do not apply any home remedies which can aggravate the situation. You can apply creams such as Azelaic acid, glycolic acid and kojic acid can be used to reduce the pigmentation under dermatological supervision.
