It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Visit this site for information regarding a possibility. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/acanthosis-nigricans/#:~:text=Acanthosis%20nigricans%20is%20the%20name,be%20checked%20by%20a%20GP.

Might be a good idea to have the PCP or Dermatologist take a look at it and possibly touch it to examine what it might be.
