I've been dealing with some dark patches on my inner thighs from a previous fungal infection. The infection itself seems to have cleared up, but these patches haven't faded. I'm a bit worried about why they're still there and if they'll eventually go away on their own. Should I be doing something to help them fade, or do you think this is just part of the healing process? I'm really just looking for some guidance on what to do next.

What do you think I should do? Is this normal after Dengue, or should I be looking into something else to help with the hair loss?
