I've been struggling with darkening of my inner thighs and pubic area and I'm not sure if it's because of masturbation or some other issue. On top of that, my foreskin seems really loose. Can you help me understand what's going on and if there's anything I can do to improve these problems?
To lighten dark inner thighs and pubic area, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone and kojic acid. Apply it once daily for a few weeks. For your loose foreskin and related issues, you may benefit from using a steroid cream like Betamethasone. Apply a thin layer twice a day for a few weeks to help tighten the foreskin.
