Suggest Remedy For Dark Marks In Neck Fold
I have dark marks in my neck folds. It looks like dirt marks but even when I do srub my neck they are still there. I'm not pregnant, I'm 26 yrs old, and never had kids. What can I do to get rid of this? Is there at homecare items I can use or some sort of medication/cream I can take

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
From the description it seems like you are having a condition called acanthosis nigricans. There are a lot of causes for it like being over weight, Diabetes, insulin resistance, Hypothyroidism, Polycystic ovary disease etc. You need to consult a dermatologist for evaluation to rule out underlying causes. He will also help you with creams and chemical peels for improvement. Exercise daily . Try to reduce weight.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
