Can I use Triben B cream to lighten the marks left behind after recovering from a fungal infection? I've been using Clobetamil G as my doctor prescribed, but I'm curious if Triben B might help with the discoloration or marks. What do you think?

I've had a sebaceous cyst on my scrotum for about 3 years now and really want to avoid surgery. Are there any other ways to treat it or make it go away naturally?
Occasionally, small scrotal sebaceous cysts may go away on their own. The use of a warm compress a couple of times a day can help reduce the size of the cyst or swelling by encouraging the cyst to drain or reabsorb into the body. However, larger cysts are unlikely to go away without surgical treatment.

I'm struggling with persistent irritation and itchiness in my groin area, especially after long drives in hot and humid conditions. Initially, keeping the area dry and using Candid Clotrimazole powder would help, but now it seems to have become a recurring issue. The skin's darker with some scaling, and the itchiness and burning sensation return if I skip a bath or don't use the powder every 12 hours. I'm wearing loose clothing and trying to keep the area as dry as possible, but I'm not seeing any permanent relief. What can I do to completely get rid of this problem?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
