What Causes Darker Skin And Peeling Between Groin And Legs?

In my groin area between my legs, the skin got dark and then it turned white as if it was peeling off but I don t know if it was peeling off. It doesn t itch. What is the reason for this condition and how do i get the skin back to my natural skin color?

Hi.
As per your case history you are having intertrigo groin.
It is caused by friction between thighs with perspiration.
My treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Wear loose clothes to minimize the friction.
3. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
