I'm noticing some dark brown discoloration around my groin area that's been there for about 4 to 5 years now, but it hasn't been itchy at all. I'm concerned about the causeis it possibly a bacterial or yeast infection, or something else? I'm really hoping for some advice on how to improve the color because it's quite noticeable, and also I'd like to address whatever might be causing it. Could you offer any guidance on this?

I recently had a mole removed using a blade, and they stopped the bleeding with heat. Now I've noticed there's a small crater where the mole was. I'm keeping it clean with soap and water, applying the ointment my doctor recommended, and covering it with a bandage. I'm just a bit worried thoughwill this crater eventually fill in as everything heals?

Yes that will heal no problem,follow your doctors advice
