To hide it from others, some might leave their hair down, wear a scarf, or even buy expensive creams. But often, the darkness on the neck remains the same. Obesity, hormonal changes, PCOD, regular medication, and insulin usage are some common causes of a dark neck. Here are some effective home remedies:
