I noticed my thigh next to my groin has darken since I started scratching that area. I also got stretch marks now on that area, is it because of too much scratching? the skin around the outside of my armpits also has darken since I started scratching, what can I do?

Nope. Your skin starts to scratch when you are about to get stretch marks. That is because your skin is breaking/stretching and thats why u get an urge to scratch. I guess you ve been putting on weight.

Many skin conditions have a tendency to cause what
you are experiencing....one that comes to mind is
called Tinea Versicolor.....which is caused by a fungus.
However, Tinea usually does not cause itching....
you just notice the discoloration.....
I would suggest going to a Dermatologist to get what is called
"a scrape" and get it to the lab for identification of the organism...
if any.
