I'm dealing with a really persistent fungal infection in my groin for the last couple of months. At first, I tried using fourderm cream, but it just made my skin lose color in that area. So, I went to a general physician who told me to stop that and start taking GRISOREM 250 twice a day. The itching hasn't gotten worse, but it hasn't really improved either, and now the infection is spreading. It's even reached my right armpit, and wearing jeans is becoming really uncomfortable. The skin in the groin area feels super sensitive, and the itchiness is pretty unbearable. There's a female dermatologist close by, but I'm kind of worried it'll be awkward because the problem is in my groin area. Seeing a male doctor would feel even more awkward. Is it a good idea to visit her? Or could I get a prescription through private chat? I've got pictures of the infection if that helps one shows how it looked after using fourderm, and the other is from today.

I'm a 26-year-old guy living in Mumbai. I used to have a fair complexion, but after years of sun exposure and not really taking care of my skin, my face, hands, and neck have become visibly darker. If I stay indoors for a few days, my skin lightens up a bit, but I can't really do that since I have to work. My body's skin is quite fair, and with my wedding coming up soon, I want to get back to my old skin tone on my face and hands. Can you suggest any daily home remedies or maybe pills like glutathione for this? How safe is it to take glutathione? Are there any side effects, and how likely are they to happen? Also, if I start using it, would the skin tone change be long-lasting, or would I have to keep taking the pills to maintain it?
To help regain your lost complexion and lighten your skin tone, you can consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or azelaic acid. These can help lighten dark spots and even out skin tone. Additionally, using a daily sunscreen with high SPF can prevent further darkening of the skin due to sun exposure.
