Question

I'm dealing with a groin infection thats really been bothering me. Ive seen two different dermatologists so far. The first one thought it was ringworm and jock itch and gave me meds like Terbinafine and some others to take for a couple of months. It got better but came back as soon as I stopped the meds. Then, I went to another doctor, who said it was a fungal infection and switched up the medications for me. Its still not completely gone. On top of that, the treatment has darkened my skin around the area, which looks really bad since my natural skin tone is quite fair. I'm stuck and worried. What should I do to properly get rid of this infection and also handle the skin darkening?

Question

I'm dealing with this skin issue I'm not sure how to explain it entirelyits something called "KaratMarathi" I think? I don't know what the English term for this disease is, but its like the blood freezes in a small circular area about the size of a coin. Its got a noticeable point and its showing up between my legs, like right below the private parts. Do you have any advice on what this might be or how I could treat it? I'm in the USA right now, so any help or guidance would be appreciated.
