How to get rid of the blackness from my neck? please help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight loss: Black around the folds of the neck suggest something called "acanthosis nigricans", and it is associated with Insulin resistance. Treating the Insulin resistance with either weight loss or medications for diabetes (if you have it) will cause the black discoloration to fade.
