I've noticed a dark patch around my waist, groin, and below the pelvic area. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing it. Could this be something serious, and is there a way to treat it? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

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?

View allIs there any way to fix the side effects of Betnovate cream? I've been using it on my face for about 6 months and had no idea it was such a strong steroid cream. It's been two years and the side effects are still bothering me. I can't even look at myself in the mirror because my face is completely red and covered with acne up to my neck. I tried IPL last winter, but it didn't make any difference. My face is also super dry now. I'm considering PRP, but I'm not sure if it's the right way to go. Any advice?
The prolonged use of Betnovate cream, a potent topical corticosteroid, can lead to severe side effects like redness, acne, dryness, and skin atrophy; to address these issues, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized guidance, and potential treatments may include: topical treatments like retinoids, antibiotics, or hydroquinone; laser therapy or intense pulsed light (IPL) to reduce redness and promote collagen production; platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which may help stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture; and sun protection, moisturizers, and gentle skincare routines to manage dryness and sensitivity
