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 dealing with this persistent fungal infection around my private parts for the past three months, and I'm really concerned it's not going away. I suspect I might also have balanitis because there's intense itching and it's becoming difficult to move the foreskin comfortably. Could you guide me on what steps I should take and which type of doctor I should see about this?
