Weird dark elbows and elbow folds

2022-06-21 11:40:29
Two weeks back i noticed my both elbows and elbow folds were really dark in color. Also my armpits are dark, less dark compared to elbow. There's soft skin on it, and if i scrup it with my finger the skin is coming off. It was never like this earlier. And it is different for normal darkness of elbow which generally people have. There's no pain, no itching. It is on both the elbow and elbow folds and armpits. No other symptoms. Please tell me what is this?
