I had jock itch and now it's left a scar on my skin. I'm really concerned about how to get rid of this scar. Can you help me with some advice or treatment options?

To remove the scars left from jock itch, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, which helps lighten dark spots on the skin. You can apply a cream like Mederma or Bio-Oil twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, using a silicone gel sheet like ScarAway can also help reduce the appearance of scars. Make sure to follow the instructions on the product packaging for best results.
