i am also facing the same issue. i believe this is normal to have a dark skin between legs and vaginal area. my husband seems to be accepting this. But i am worried when we watch some prone stars having a nice complexion all over. is that because of makeups? is there any treatment to bring it back to normal?
you can consider having a skin chemical peel done, which will result in new lighter tone skin by the peeling of skin
What you have seems to be "Acanthosis Nigricans".
It usually will go away when you balance your diet.
Acanthosis nigricans:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acanthosis nigricans is a brown to black, poorly defined, velvety hyperpigmentation of the skin, usually present in the posterior and lateral folds of the neck, the axilla, groin, umbilicus, and other areas.
Causes
This occurs due to insulin spillover (from excessive production due to obesity or insulin resistance) into the skin which results in its abnormal growth, and the stimulation of color producing cells (melanocytes).
The most common cause would be insulin resistance, usually from type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Other causes are familial, obesity, drug-induced, malignant (gastric cancer), idiopathic, and Polycystic ovary syndrome. In the context of a malignant disease, Acanthosis nigricans is a paraneoplastic syndrome and is then commonly referred to as Acanthosis nigricans maligna. Involvement of mucous membranes is rare and suggests a coexisting malignant condition. It typically occurs in individuals younger than age 40, may be genetically inherited, and is associated with obesity or endocrinopathies, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, acromegaly, polycystic ovary disease, insulin-resistant diabetes, or Cushing's disease. When seen in individuals older than age 40, this disorder is commonly associated with an internal malignancy, usually adenocarcinoma, and most commonly of the GI tract or uterus; less commonly of the lung, prostate, breast, or ovary. Acanthosis nigricans of the oral mucosa or tongue is highly suggestive of a neoplasm, especially of the GI tract.
Signs and tests
Physicians can usually diagnose acanthosis nigricans by simply looking at a patient's skin. A skin biopsy may be needed in unusual cases. If no clear cause of acanthosis nigricans is obvious, it may be necessary to search for one. Blood tests, an endoscopy, or x-rays may be required to eliminate the possibility of diabetes or cancer as the cause.
Treatment
People with acanthosis nigricans should be screened for diabetes and, although rare, cancer. Controlling blood glucose levels through exercise and diet often improves symptoms.
Prognosis
Acanthosis nigricans often fades if the underlying cause can be determined and treated appropriately.
It usually will go away when you balance your diet.

The solution to his is simple;
1 cup milk 2% (non Darigold, it is poisoned again at this point in time.)
1 cup vinegar (non balsamic)
Mix for two minutes, digest.
It will lighten it to shade 0 within 1 week. There is another issue with complete darkness within black women. To fix this type of problem add 1 tablespoon (heaping) of C&H Sugar (granular), ensure that the packaging is dark. These three ingredients mixed will lighten it to shade 1 after it initializes. (Two and a half minutes for mixing for this version.

Has anyone tried this? Does it work?
It says digest
