Stretch marks and darker skin parts

Question

Asked for Female, 18 Years

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
