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.
