Thank you for your clear pics I would suggest do NOT attempt glycolic acid in that area at this point. Not concerning at all. Appears to be a fungal infection we allude to as Pityriasis Versicolor. Easily treatable. Do connect via this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation 🙏... For a speedy and pucca resolution.

Detailed history and clear images are required for correct diagnosis and treatment. Glycolic acid doesn't work for this. This is a mild infection.
