Hi,
It seems to be acanthosis nigricans. I would recommend you to go for thyroid function tests, serum insulin level and fasting blood sugar levels checked to find out the cause of your problem.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
