dark patches in the groin area
I got this since last six months. The only thing that I did different was I started running. I believe this could be related to excess sweat, but dont know for sure.
It is in the groin area and also behind my knees. Also some spots in my underarm and few in my shoulders. All the areas where there is usually excess sweat.
I went to my primary care physician first and he suggested clobetasol. It was hepful in stopping the itch but the dark patches remained. I then went to a dematologist and he suggested that clobetasol is too strong and prescribed mometasone. After more than two months, the mometasone has not made any difference.
Can someone Id it from the picture and suggest alternate methods to treat it?
