Hi there! I'm here to help with your concern about the dark patches in your waist, groin, and below the pelvic area. To provide you with the most accurate assessment, could you please upload a photo of the affected areas? This will help me better understand the condition and suggest appropriate treatment options.

In the meantime, here are a couple of questions to help me gather more information:

When did you first notice these dark patches, and have they changed in size or color over time? Do you experience any other symptoms in these areas, such as itching, pain, or any kind of discharge?

I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection on my face that's been bothering me for about a year. I was on itraconazole capsules from Dr. Reddy's and clotrimazole ointment for three months, and it seemed to clear up for a bit. But as soon as I finished the medication, it came back within a week. I'm an MBBS student at PIMS in Jalandhar, and I'm wondering if there are any injectable options available for this?
