Acantosis Nigricans: Hi, possibly you have a skin condition called Acantosis Nigricans, which is hyperpigmintation of skin usually around the skin folds, usually it's due to Obesity, Thyroid disease, Polycystic ovary, Insulin resistance and Adrenal gland diseases (Cushing syndrome), but sometimes it's just inherited, see your PMD for further evaluation.
