This description sounds like acanthosis nigricans. This is a condition where your skin​ folds like underarms, inner thighs or groin, neck and face, elbows and knees 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.
