Hi,
Dark inner thighs are a common problem, caused by extra pigment called melanin. As healthcare providers we refer to this condition as hyper-pigmentation. Please let your GP check that the cause is not a systemic disease. If yes, the treatment of the underlying condition should solve the problem. Otherwise your pharmacist will be able to recommend you creams etc.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
