Hi, I m a female and I have gray skin coloring in inner thighs and in armpits. I was wondering what might be the cause and what can be done about it. I m not over weight and I eat very healthy. I scrub hard in the shower to remove any dead skin and still nothing. Please get back to me when you possibly can :)

Use powder frequently to keep it dry 2. Avoid itching and don't scratch it 3. Change the under garments 4. Don't apply and general or steroid cream like betnovate etc 5. Don't stop the medicine once you cure. Continue medicine for long time to completely kill the fungal 6. Avoid excessive sweating and wet cloths 7. Check diabetes and thyroid it is really recurrent even after proper treatment. Now treatment part 1. Ketoconazole cream tab terbinafine 250 mg for 2 month 2. Terbinafine cream fluconazole 150 mg twice in week for 2 month 3. Tab itraconazole 200 mg once in a day any cream for 1 month these are treatment combinations. continue it
