I've been dealing with white, dry patches around my groin area, including on the scrotum and penis. I was diagnosed with a fungal infection a few months ago and took medication which cleared up the infection, but the dryness and skin flaking haven't gone away. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can treat it? I'm kind of worried about it.

I'm really worried because I stopped using Panderm a week ago and started a new treatment, but I've noticed my skin has been getting darker. Right now, I'm using Tazar ointment, Kozivit Ultra, and Cetaphil lotion. Could this change in products be causing the darkening? What should I do?

I've been using Betnovate N cream on and off for about 10 years, and now I've got these dark spots on my cheeks near my nose. I'm seeing a dermatologist who told me to use Azelaic acid cream 20 at night for just 30 minutes and Dermadew Glow cream during the day. It's almost been a month and I don't really see any improvement. I'm really stressed about these spots. What do you think about this treatment?

Prolonged usage betnovate cream would have made your skin sensitive,and lead for hyperpigmention,it takes time to heal have patience and follow your doctors advice.
