Hi This could be due to acanthosis nigricans. There is velvety thickening of the skin around neck. Most common cause are obesity and insulin resistance. However without photographs it's difficult to say the exact nature and cause of hyperpigmentation.
Next Steps
consult a dermatologist with photographs for evaluation and treatment.
