Hi. This skin condition is called as Acanthosis Nigricans. Obesity is one of the common association, so loosing weight will certainly help. Some creams will be required for reducing pigmentation over face n other area. You can send me your pictures for treatment of skin condition. It can be associated with some hormonal abnormalities, so hormonal evaluation by an endocrinologist will also help.
