Lose Wt-Derm-cause: This is probably something called acanthosis nigricans and the major concern is that is a sign of you being insulin resistant and getting diabetes. First step is loss the weight, get help from your doctor if necessary. It can go away with weight loss, but you may need to see a dermatologist who can help with removing the discoloration. Treating the underlying problem needs to come first.
