It might not be medication related. It could be Acanthosis Nigricans, a skin condition associated with insulin resistance, overweight, PCOS, Type 2 diabetes. (You needn't suffer from all of those conditions in order to develop it. You can find a lot of information about it through Google.
Here are a few of the links I thought had decent information. (The third link has some rather graphic photos, so anyone who is sensitive to such things may want to skip over it.)
