Neck is getting dark

2017-09-09 12:25:08
My friends neck is getting very dark. We have tried bleach and scrub. The darkness is only on the neck. Is it a problem or is it just normal skin tanning?

The more you scrub, the darker it is going to get. Please stop scrubbing. You may be having acanthosis nigricans. It can be treated. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
