My age is 49. I'm a diabetic since 2012. I had no idea at that time. But it was confirmed in 2014. Since 2013 my hair was fallen. In 2013 my underarms and place between thighs were changed to dark brownish black colour. May be due to starting of diabetic. Is there any medicine or ointment which clears that dark colour and bring back my original wheatish colour. Thanks.
