Hi,
It may be acanthosis nigricans. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.It may be due to obesity if you have or some internal cause. It may be idiopathic means no cause.
Apply Salicylic acid ointment daily at night and vitamin E cream in morn. Take vitamin E cap and vitamin C daily for long time. Cleanse the area with face wash containing glycolic acid.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
