I'm really concerned because over the last six months, I've noticed my face and neck skin turning dark. I used to have a lighter complexion, but now this change has really affected the areas around my neck, jaws, and chin. On top of that, the skin on my cheeks is also starting to darken. I'm also managing diabetes, so I'm wondering if there could be a connection. What might be causing this, and is there a way to reverse it?

That could be acanthosis ,correct your BMI and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
