It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm worried because my inner thighs are a lot darker than the rest of my skin. I've heard about kojitin cream and I'm wondering if it could help lighten the area. If it works, how long would it take to see results? And if it doesn't work, is there something else I can try to even out my skin tone there?

usually it's darker than rest of the skin for almost everyone no need to worry maintain personal hygiene,if you are conscious visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
