I'm dealing with jock itch, and it's made the skin on my inner thighs darker. I'm concerned about getting my natural skin tone back and was wondering if there's a specific cream for this. Is using something like Kojic acid cream effective for both treating the itch and lightening the skin, or should I be looking for something else? Any advice would be really helpful!

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been using Skinlite cream for about 6 months now and it's really changed my fairness. But I know it's not good to use it long-term. What can I do to keep my skin tone the same without continuing the Skinlite cream? Any cream recommendations would be really helpful! I'm a bit worried about my skin adjusting, so any advice would be appreciated.

I've been dealing with this really annoying itching and rashes around my scrotum and anus area for a few months now.
