Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
This hyperpigmentation happens due to constant friction.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid cream like mometasone.
It is safe and effective and gives good results within a week.
You can try it in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
