Brief Answer:
Regarding pigmentation and itching in groin

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

For diffuse facial hyperpigmentation i would suggest you to first stop usimg all cosmetics on face that you may be using like fainess creams, oil etc. Instead use a sunscreen throughout the day. At night you may use a demelanizimg cream like glycolic acid and kojic acid preparations e.g Demelan cream or Kojivit ultra cream and the like. For itching in the groin i would suggest that you use an absorbant dusting powder e.g clotrimazole dusting powder to keep the folds dry and to discourage fungal infection which causes itching.

hope I have answered your query.Let me know if you need any more assistance

thank you sir, I am doing table job in the roof and sun interaction is zero and swatting is high for me especially morning time swatting is very high and this blackish area is neck and face only, this is identified since so many months but I neglected this but now every one saying why you are becoming black and then I realized and approached you.
pls provide the medication list in prescription for procurement and pls describe how to use.
