General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.

Such dark colored skin develops usually due to fungal infection.
The treatment is as follows:
Keep the area aerated
Clean with plain water twice daily and keep it dried with air / hair dryer
Apply local anti-fungal ointment
Oral anti-fungal tablets as advised by the Dermatologist
Multivitamins and Therapeutic dose of Vitamin A and D

Get review done by the Dermatologist regularly as this takes a lot of time to get clear
And remember, this can be recurrent problem if the atmospheric condition are hot and humid.
Get blood sugar done to rule out diabetes, as this is one of the pre-disposing factors.
I find this answer helpful
