Dry, Dark And Blotchy Skin On Stomach, Under Armpits And Thighs. How Can I Cure It?
I currently have blotchy dry, dark skin on my stomach , under my arm pits and on my thighs. It first started around May and has gotten worse. It first started on my stomach then to my thighs and now my arm pits. What is it? How do I cure it? It does by itch but it is irritating to have. I thought lotion would help but it seems not to help in anyway.
