Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do not worry. I will help you with your concern. From your history, it seems that you have a fungal infection. But I need to see these rashes so I can confirm the diagnosis. Also, I need to know your age to decide the dose and suggest your treatment accordingly. Kindly revert. Thanks and regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You still have an active infection, as I can see scaling (attachment removed to protect patient identity). First, let us treat this infection then black spots. But remember, black spots will take time to go away. The laser is the best treatment option for black marks. I will give you cream for black spots, but this will take at least six months to fade. For now, apply Onabet (Sertaconazole nitrate) lotion two times daily for three weeks. After three weeks, I will assess again and suggest a cream for dark spots if the infection resolves. Thanks and regards.
