Dirt on skin over many years.PLEASE HELP

2018-08-05 23:00:45
Hi, this feels extremely weird for me to write about but I need help. I am a teen in highschool and I have this embarrassing problem on my skin. Below my stomach around the center of my hips I have this built up dirt. For many years I wash and I wash and I wash and it just never comes off. I’ve tried kojic acid soap but it doesn’t work. It’s dark and looks very bad. I am very insecure about this and it’s been so many years and it just won’t go away with my excessive scrubbing. I need help please

Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
