Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Blackish discolouration between your thighs can be lightened using creams containing Kojic acid, liquorice, Arbutin and niacinamide. However, since the skin is very delicate in that area, you should stop the cream if irritation occurs.
You also need to avoid friction in that area. if you are overweight, you need to lose weight to prevent friction which can worsen the discolouration.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
