I've noticed over the years that my skin and groin began to itch and my armpits and thighs became more darker?

Dry skin?: If you have noted no skin rash and only itching, dry skin may be the problem. Apply a moisturizer immediately after bathing (avoid scented soap) may be helpful. As for the darkened areas at armpits and thighs, I wonder if you had been scratching these areas often leading to the hyperpigmentation. See dermatologist if problem persists.

Acanthosis: Please visit your MD. Studies show conditions such as Acanthosis Nigricans can cause this condition. Good luck.
