Question

I'm noticing some dark brown discoloration around my groin area that's been there for about 4 to 5 years now, but it hasn't been itchy at all. I'm concerned about the causeis it possibly a bacterial or yeast infection, or something else? I'm really hoping for some advice on how to improve the color because it's quite noticeable, and also I'd like to address whatever might be causing it. Could you offer any guidance on this?
