Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Hyperpigmentation can be caused due to excessive exposure to the sun, changes in the environment or the hormonal changes in the body.
Itching on the arms, neck and midriff might be allergic in nature or due to fungal fection. A direct examination by a dermatologist will help in proper diagnosis and initiation of treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
