Stretch marks and darker skin parts

2018-05-23 13:16:03
My neck, armpit and between my thighs are way darker than the rest of my body and its quite unpleasant to see... I have tried using lemons and baking soda like I saw online but they didn't really work. Also, I got these massive stretch marks on my arm in 2015 and they are still spreading.... Is there anything I can do about them
