This description sounds like acanthosis nigricans. This is a condition where your skin​ folds like underarms, neck and face becomes dark. it happens due to sedantry lifestyle and or overweight. This can be treated. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper diagnosis, treatment advice and prescription. Shaving can increase the pigmentation due to friction.
