I ws going to post about this, but someone beat me to it. Definitely bring this up the next time you see your OB/GYN.

Here is something I found on a PCOS website: "Skin tags can form as a result of PCOS. They are usually found in the armpits, at the bra line or neck and can easily be removed by a dermatologist. Darkening and thickening of the skin can also occur around the neck, groin, underarms or skin folds. This condition, called Acanthosis Nigricans, is a sign of insulin resistance, the underlying cause of PCOS."
It may be worth talking to your gynocologist about it at your next appointment.
