I've recently recovered from a jock itch infection in my groin area, but it's left the skin there really dark and blackened. The infection itself is gone and Im not having any symptoms now, but the skin hasn't gone back to normal. Is there anything I can do to help it heal or lighten back to its usual color?

I'm a bit concerned because the skin around my waist and knees is noticeably darker compared to the rest of my body. I'm fairly light-skinned, so it really stands out. Is there a way to even out the complexion in those areas to match the rest of my skin?

Question
