Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Since you are lactating ,all lightening agents cannot be used in your case .
You can apply kojic acid cream over the dark areas twice daily .
Use a medicated sunscreen with spf more than 26 regularly before going out in the sun .
Apply it atleast thirty minutes before going out and re apply every three hourly .
For regular use ,you can use oil free moisturisers.
Take plenty of fresh citrus fruits .
Hope it helps

Brief Answer:
Pigmentation related to weight gain
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Thie condition that you have developed is called pseudo acanthosis nigricans.
In this condition ,one tends to develop pigmentation in the skin folds especially in axilla ,neck ,groin along with involvement of face and other body parts in some cases .
Although application of lightening creams can help to some extent but the main treatment is reduction of weight .
If the patients weight keep on on reading further ,the darkening will surely worsen .
So I would advise you to apply the medicine as told and also incorporate some exercise in your daily schedule.
You can see a dietitian for a balanced and healthy diet chart since you are lactating also .
