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'm having this weird issue where every night my knees and elbows start itching, and I get these small rashes. I've been using Tetmosol soap and Dettol liquid when I bathe, but I'm not sure if that's helping. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or any suggestions on what I should do?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

Im from India, and Ive noticed that my skin is a bit uneven. My inner thighs and buttocks seem much darker compared to the rest of my body, especially after I had a fungal infection there which has now cleared up. I'm also a little overweight, which might contribute to the issue. Is there any cream or treatment that could help lighten these dark areas? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Lulican 1.. cream is advised for 2 weeks and also u can take tablet levocetrizine , orally for 7 days.
