Have Brown Spots In Groin Region. How To Diagnose My Symptoms?

I'm a 17 year old male and I have very light brown/pinkish spots in the groin region. These spots do not itch and are not significantly elevated. There's around three spots, and I noticed the first one a while ago, but now I think it's spreading. The first spot is the size of a quarter or a bit bigger, the second is the size of a nickel, and the one I just noticed that is relatively new is the size of a dime. They are all relatively spread out, although the quarter sized and the nickel sized are an inch or two apart from each other a bit off the groin region. And the dime sized is right in the crotch region, slightly darker in color, more of a darker pink. I'm a virgin still, and I don't know how to go about this and I'm a bit worried. Please help me get a diagnosis.

Hi,

It seems that you may be having candidosis. It is a. Fungal skin diseases caused by Candida albicans. There may be no complaints. Only discoloration may be there.there may be pinkish ,reddish or brownish color of patches in groin inner thigh and scrotal skin. Take anti fungal tablet like ketoconazole, apply cream like clotrimazole cream and cleanse the are with antiseptic like dettol containing water. Do not use soap. Keep the area dry. You may be alright. If needed, consult dermatologist.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
