I've been dealing with dark patches on my inner thighs for about five years now. Theyre really noticeable because there's not much of a gap between my legs, so they rub together and even against my testis when I walk. It's pretty embarrassing, and I'm worried about whether there's anything I can do to lighten the skin or prevent this from happening. Is there something specific causing this, or any treatment youd recommend?
