Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have discoloration under armpit, between breasts and inner thighs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like hormonal changes , fungal infection , skin condition like psoriasis or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation . I would suggest you to apply cold compresses , keep skin clean , apply cream containing kojic acid and also apply aloe vera gel at night before going to bed . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment , retinoids or recommend chemical peeling or laser therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
