Skin discoloration

This is the only place where I feel safe enough to ask this embarassing question.

I have been overweight most of my life, which - along with gravity - has taken it's toll.  I have a great deal of skin discoloration under my belly (flap) and on my inner/upper thighs.  Does anyone have a solution that works to change/reverse this discoloration?

Thanks....

 You probably should get in to see a dermatologist to find out what it IS and then what you may be able to do to improve it . . .

It is a somewhat common condition with morbid obesity - I know that when I first consulted with an endocrinologist several years before my WLS his residents examined my skin carefully. I attached the above link as it might be related. Don't be embarrassed. Show it to your doctor. Susan

 I had what Susan linked to, and it resolved with weight loss.
