A member asked:

The area near the groin on thighs has become black. used to itch a lot earlier . how can the skin be normalized?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Itch : Skin that has been scratched for a long time may develop post inflammatory hyperpigmentation . This improves overtime providing the itch is gone . If there is no improvement then see a dermatologist.
