Medical Conditions - Dark Neck

Skin darkening around the neck is known as a dark neck. It can occur due to hormonal disturbances, obesity, and certain medical conditions such as acanthosis nigricans and Dermatitis Neglecta. Some drugs are also responsible for dark necks, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antimalarials, and phenytoins.
