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.

I'm kind of worried because I've noticed these nodules on my nipple area for the past couple of weeks. My breasts are really itchy, and the skin seems to be drying out. Just last night, I got another nodule in my underarm. I'm confused if it's just because of the warm weather or if there's another reason behind it. Could this be something serious?

it might be lymphadenopathy, consult your surgeon near by
