Hello, the neck darkening may be Acanthosis nigricans. Most commonly it is because of weight gain or hormonal imbalance. Creams give only temporary response and the pigmentation thickening on neck recurs. Best solution is diet changes and exercise to reduce weight. Hope this helps.

Acanthosis nigricans is the name for dry, dark patches of skin that usually appear in the armpits, neck or groin. It could be a sign of an underlying condition, so it needs to be checked by a gp.
