Hi.. blackening in the area as you described could be due to macular amyloidosis. This is a condition in which you get black colored spots over your skin. Generally this condition is asymptomtic but gradually progressive. It is a primary cutaneous condition which wont affect your body in any other way or any other system.
Treatment involves depigmenting creams over the area like hydroquinone 2%,
