Hey I have the same Problem i have them between my legs and my neck. I usually just take a shower and i scrub my neck and legs. With the neck it works but between my thighs it doesnt so i started to use this cream that i had for awhile and it works really good. Its called Palmer's cocoa butter formula. It smells like chocolate mmm :))! Hope that helped!

Hi

I have the same problem
My legs skin always sweat and it is warm.
I think it's the reason. I try some masks. I think it's not bad to do it. I visited a doctor and he said no body can cure it and in the future when I have a baby, my skin will be darker than now.

hey girls i had the same problem under my arms but my wonderfull mexican mother told me put limen with some drops of water that simple it even helps with the smell.but i havent tried it between my leg yet im a little scared it myburn.

Hi, I'm A 14 year old girl && I Will Say I'm Thick. I Have Big Thighs && Between them are dark spots with blackheads. I have low self esteem because of this. I Wash As good As Possible between My thighs but it don't work . I used To Put Cocoa Butter between Them At Night But Nothing. I also used lighten Cream But That don't work. I Thought If I Bust Some/Most Of the blackheads it will clear up but that's hasn't happen. I Have read some of the comments and i'm scared about me having IR or being Pre-diabetic. My mom tells me dark spots are there because my thighs rub together && i should try to lose weight && it will go away. I tried && its hard for me to work out. I Just Want Something That will take this embarrassment away from me.

Ok so i have been sitting all day reading similar things about these dark patches on the inner thigh after a horrible comment from a boy who persued me for months and won me over. trust me i feel for every one of you girls out there it was so humiliating! it never seemed to be a problem personally as i confided in a friend years ago when i was 13 asking if it was normal and she said hers looked the same. anyway i know the guy was no mr right buy it got me really paranoid. does it really turn men off? i know its common, just look at all of you! well ive been scouring the internet day and night to see what on earth i can do about it (NOT for said guy... hes history after all that palava haha) it sounds like some of you girls (sorryyy and guys, they get it too!) get breakouts down there. and i think i have a QUICK VISUAL solution to the problem. i was reading about spot creams on a site and all of them seemed to have peroxide in them. well im a blonde and i need root touch ups like ALL the time so i always have some hydrogen peroxide creme 40 vol (12%) hanging round SOMEWHERE ha! so i gets it out and dilutes it so its the consistency of milk.... not quite watery. and i brushed it over a small area and kept an eye on it. hey presto the skin had lightened a ltitle. so i do the whole area on both legs keeping an eye that it doesnt go too light then i rinsed it off. the general area has now lightened but i have a couple of little scars from spots/chaffing rashed from a while ago so i used some more UNdiluted peroxide and carefully dabbed it onto the scars ONLY rinsing then re-applying until it blended in. ok i know some of you are wanting to KILL me for using such a harsh chemical so near my lady bits but if anybody felt as mortified as i did then youd do anythin for a quick fix. its not a long-term solution its just so it doesnt LOOK so bad. at first nothing happened to the texture of the scars but as most spot creams contain peroxide as a kind of chemical peeling agent then i can only assume gradually the dead scar tissue should go away as the pigmentation faces, leaving a smoother surface. its just my guess anyhow. im not saying take a bath in the stuff it is a very very abrasive chemical but girls, if i culd post a before and after i would i am so pleased. with my little midnight DIY haha! hope i can help someone feel confident while they get their paws on a long term method

Those spots are usually caused by inner thghs rubbing against eachother when walking or moving, specilly in overweight people.
Any method other than losing weight will not help in the long run.

the symptoms could also be a sign of food addiction. before you freak out about IR, consult a doctor and maybe look into food addiction.

hey, i've the same problem.. and  it's kind a shame :/

IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM TO ..IM 14 & I HAVE DARK SPOTS BETWEEN MY LEGS IS SO EMBARRASING...I WISH I COULD USE SHORTS LIKE ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS IM NOT OVERWEIGHT IM REALLY IN GOOD SHAPE BUT I HAVE THIS I WASH AND IM ALWAYS CLEAN...I JUST WANNA GET RID OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

I have a teacher she told me if you have it under your airmpits or between your legs just rub lemon on the spot

i have the same problem , but i have diabets i found out around thanksgiving . If you have those dark areas its mostly because your overweight or diabetic . Since i found out i have that i STOPPED drinking soda counting my carbs , working out . ive lost about 30 pounds since that and some darkness went away. I would love to find a cure for it especially for my neck and armpits and lower area . Im 16 and having this isnt right , that isnt for noone. But many say to use the a scrub but dont scrub to hard because that wont help just make it worst . SOMEBODY please help i want to get rid of this stuff i love showing my shoulders but if you wanna lift it , do you know how bad it feels ):

I have the same issue and im an overwight chick wat i do is when i shower i get a washcloth and my bar of soap but some on the cloth and scrub then after shower i put cocoa butter with shea and non my armpits i have seen it dissapear lately and i mean i can go 2 3 days witout doin it and it still looks good jus keep up wit that and it will dissapear but i also have changed my diet also..im eating healther..soo try those even witout the exsercise..i mean the cloth and saop u already have and the lotion is no more than 3 bucks(depending n wat the brand u get) hope this works!!

Threadkiller, do you have the same problem? Obesity is not always the direct cause of this problem. I am 54, have had this problem all my life, even when at a normal weight. I had PCOS for years and am now diabetic. Losing weight is not always the cure you make it out to be.It is not always from the thighs rubbing together either. And not caused by not cleaning. My Dr. diagnosed it as Nigricans Acanthosis. People suffering from these symptoms need to be seen to rule out pre-diabetes or PCOS. Goodness, where did you come up with this stuff?

i am 15 years old i am overwieght even if i dont look it its only because im tall i weigh about 220lbs and i cant ever lose the weight. i am in basketball pretty good and i was in volleyball will do these two sports in a school year and i like p e. my doctor said im a hypoglisemic and thats why the skin on the back of my neck is thicker and maybe darker thats also why i am supposed to eat protein. no ones ever said i was diabetic if you have someone take  your blood couldnt they be able to tell even if they were looking for something else? ive hade surgury on my nostrils and they gave some weird sweet stuff b4 it and took my blood 4 times! i have dark spots no ones ever mentioned anything to me but i dont have thicker skin under my breasts my inner thighs and pubic area are dark too i just dont know whats going on all i know is im hypoglisemic and thats all i need help! how do i get rid of dark spots?!
