Dark private areas
I have darker skin in some parts of my body such as my knees, armpits and groin area. I am 26 now and I've had this problem since my school days. I would like to know the reason for this and also the solution for the same. Would like to preferably use an external ointment or other product to reduce the excess darkness.

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. ,,,
