Black under neck

I have stubborn dark black color under my neck. And I am not sure is it tanned or hyperpigmentation. Please help me out. This color deteriorating ever faster maybe this is due to sun exposure or something else.

This description sounds like acanthosis nigricans. This is a condition where your skin​ folds like underarms, inner thighs or groin, neck and face becomes dark. It is either genetic or due to sedantry lifestyle and overweight. This can be treated. Please call me or contact me with photos using online consult option for proper diagnosis, treatment advice and prescription. ,,,
