What Are The Brownish Discolorations On My Groin?

Hello, I have brownish spots on my groins both sides. They are under the skin, not raised or itchy. I have had them for 3 months now, they havent gone away, but the get lighter right after my period and get dark and seem to have more right before and during my period? It looks like some kind of skin discoloration, more round in shape.
