I'm noticing that the skin around my inner thighs has darkened and it's gotten really itchy. The area is super dry, and when I scratch it, the skin starts shedding. It's quite uncomfortable. Do you know what might be causing this or how I can treat it?

Been on these for three months now, but there's been no improvement. In fact, the redness got worse over the last four days. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of this?
