Suggest Remedy For Darker Skin Tone With Itching In Inner Thigh Area
I just got to Savannah 2 weeks ago and it is extremely hot and humid. Well since the time I ve been here I one day noticed that the portion where my inner thighs meet had become much darker than my skin tone. It does not hurt, it may itch from time to time but nothing that feels abnormal. The skin is smooth as well although it Eems it might be a tad dryer than the healthy skin. I am a female 6ft tall, and I weigh 172 lbs I gained about 30 lbs in the course of a year but my thighs have always met slightly but this has never happened what could this be, and how can I get rid of it??

Hi
You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the groin region .
It needs to be treated with antifungal agents .
Topical application of antifungal drugs like clotrimazole may help you .
Some people need to be treated with oral antifungal drugs like fluconazole as well .
Use an antifungal powder over the area regularly .
