Suggest Treatment For Dark Skin Pigmentation In Neck And Arm Pits

Ok so I m having dark skin pigmentation in my neck and arm pits. On my neck they said because I was prone to diabetes, but I mean I have taken every precautionary necessary since I was told 15 yrs ago to prevent it. In my under arms I was told it was probably due to my deodorant, I tried various ones but nothing changed. I can scrub and scrub all day till my skin start getting irritated but the dark skin does not seem to go away. What could be causing this problem

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the dark pigmentation appears now then this could be allergic reaction and most probably some drug may be the cause, stop the drug if you are ever on and wait for some time it will be fine, if this is not drug history then it could be hypersensitivity, some time such condition may need clinical examination for right diagnosis, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
