Hello!

It seems to be an infection or an allergic reaction (intertrigo). I recommend consulting with a dermatologist for a physical exam to choose the best treatment options based on the type of your skin.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Yes, I saw the picture and it seems to be intertrigo, but the white spots seem to be a fungal infection.

That is why, I would recommend using an anti-fungal ointment, coupled with an antifungal shampoo.

I would recommend Kenacomb ointment which is composed by different anti-fungal and antibacterial agent.

You can find these products in XXXXXXX

I would also recommend washing this region with Danket shampoo. It is also necessary following the above recommended tips:

- use large trousers
- keep dry the region
- dry well after washing
- wash different times a day.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!

The blackening of the skin is caused from repeated trauma from rubbing with the other leg or with the trousers.

That is why, I recommended using large trousers and keeping dry clean this region of your skin.

Using a zinc oxide cream (Anocream) in this region would help reduce the rubbing and prevent further blackening of the skin.

Do not use anti-fungal cream and shampoo for more than 2 weeks.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Dr. Iliri
