Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Skin discoloration along with itching could be an indication of fungal infection.
Once the infection is controlled skin color will return to normal.
So would advice you to show the skin discoloration site to a dermatologist as visualization will be needed to confirm diagnosis and he will advice accordingly medications.
Hope i cleared your doubts.
Thanks and regards.
